So would there be any fees associated with this method? And yes, we're totally dead. There's a big radio telescope observatory just over the hill from my house (http://www.gb.nrao.edu/) - so we're totally dead for mobile phones and radio transmissions. They even drive around in a bread truck looking for stray signals to kill. It's strange.

A dead area of the US? Hmmm.... Well, by 'email gateways' means you can send an SMS through a normal email system. For example, to send an SMS to a Cingular phone you can send an email to the email address of <phone number>@mobil.mycingular.com. So, in yuor case, it sounds like all you need is the format for the email address to your users' phones, something your users could provide you with.
