Does anyone know of a reference list for sending from SMS to email on various carriers/platforms? There are all kinds of resources for sending email to SMS (generally involving sending it to (phone number)@(carrier address.com)), but I haven't been able to find a cross-carrier reference for going the other way.

On my T-Mobile service, for instance, I have to send an SMS to "phone number" 500, with the email address, subject, and body of the message separated by appropriate delimiters. How does it work on other carriers?



simply "wikipedia" email to sms gateway and you will see all results. This option is fine, but if you use it too much, you will considered spammer. So if you are trying to build a lasting business, be careful with it.


Thanks, but I'm looking for instructions for going the other way. The Wikipedia article (at least the one I found) has good information for sending email to cell phones, but that information is all over the place.

What I need is a comprehensive, cross-carrier list for sending email from cell phones. I've found this information for a few carriers, but it's not complete by any means. For instance, it looks like Cingular (U.S.) and Rogers (Canada) use the same method as T-Mobile (U.S.), just using a different number (500 for T-Mobile, 121 for Cingular, and 0000000000 for Rogers).

I may have to devote a few days to digging out this information by hand from the carrier web sites. If I do, I'll add it to the Wikipedia article.
