is a HOWTO on using SMS in (most digital) cellphones to send & receive e-mail, even if the mobile does not have an e-mail client or web browser.

Might be handy for folks to learn, esp. since only about 1/4 of folks in the States use SMS now, so a streamlined intro could be useful.

Also placed it in the InfoDump over in the Wiki supporting the Interdictor blog. There, it could be useful in extremis.

Update: Here's some new information, which includes a correction in addressing for T-Mobile, and this:

Virgin Mobile (USA): Area Code+Mobile Number@vmobl.com

Virgin claims you can send a text message to an e-mail address by just putting the e-mail address in the 'Send To' field. Since they are using the SprintPCS infrastructure, that may or may not work for SprintPCS users.
