When I worked at (Sony) Ericsson, we used to send an email from a PC to a phone (using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the address). Their SMS server would assign a temporary phone number to the sender's email address so the phone user could "reply" to the message. From that point on, that temporary phone number could be used by anybody to send an SMS to the PC. We called Cingular support and they said that these temporary phone numbers were flushed from their system periodically (I think they claimed every two weeks), but in practice, I never saw a temporary phone number get flushed. CDMA systems like Verizon and Sprint allow you to enter an email address in the recipient field of an SMS, and the SMS server handles it. GSM-based systems may have evolved since I used them.
