Recently, in the past year IIRC, all the big cell companies agreed to allow SMS move across different networks. So you can send SMS from say a Verizon phone to a Cingular phone. Recently this agreement was extended into Canada and Mexico I think.
In my case, I can just use CFMAIL to send an SMS via email. Most cell companies have this setup now.
