All Things SMS

Oh Wikipedia, you keep me young! I’m looking around the internets today trying to find information on how to set up an SMS gateway to forward SMS messages to a php script and I stumbled across some very cool SMS features I didn’t know about. I knew that through T-Mobile I could receive text messages to my phone via an email address, but I had no idea what the email address was (it’s xxxxxxxxxx@tmomail.net). Not only that, but I found out almost every other major service prover has similar functionality!

Just to make things better, you can send email via text message just as easily. For T-Mobile, you simply follow the format and send it to 500

<email@domain.com>/subject/message

You can find all the formats, numbers, etc of other service provers at Wikipedia.
