ICQ will send text to an sms (vodaphone) cellphone, and I believe some of the linux 
ICQ clones will too,

there was a fellow in karori offering a free email based sms gateway, look here:

http://203.79.82.38/FreeSMS/index_html

it says its to be discontinued "shortly" in October 2001, and was based on mtnmsn, so 
I think it may now be dead.
