I believe vtext is Verizon-specific. U.S. Cellular is uscc.net I think, and other carriers have their own addresses. Googling something like "email text messages" should give you a current list of carriers' email domains. Generally, you just enter the 10-digit number, then the at sign, then the domain for the carrier the receiving phone is on.
