I think Vtext will do that. Just type in the number and then @vtext.com. I don't think this is spesific to Verizon, but I can't swear to that.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986

The I C.A.N. Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions which help them be equal with their sighted peers.

Subject: [Braillenote] a little bit off topic; texting using email

Hello. I'm submitting this to this list because a lot of Braillenote users are familiar with email. Most of the time, when someone sends a text message (SMS) through email, they are service-provider specific. For example, if you wanted to text someone with a Virgin Mobile cell phone, you would put "number at vmobl.com" in the box. But what about those radio and television offers that give out those five-digit texting ID things? Is there a host out there that, when put after the at sign, it will route it to the proper provider? A host that, when put after an at sign, will automatically reroute it to Virgin if it is a Virgin Mobile phone, or reroute it to Verizon for a Verizon phone? Is there an email-Sms reroute address that will send the message to whatever phone number or
texting ID you put in there?
