For those USA phone #s, I've done the email to SMS back and forth, but you
need to get the other person to tell you their carrier's name.
Like you said, you can't guess, especially when they carried their # between
carriers.

I still don't understand how you can work out which domain to use just from
knowing the phone number, even if a domain exists for the service provider.

For example, I'm on Selectel, yet I use the Verizon domain.
So it's likely using the domain for who's towers it rides on.

I don't believe that "all cell companies have domains for eMailing to" is
globally true.

For example, can you find a domain for Vodafone UK?

Also, how do you know which provider's domain you need to send the message
to when all you know is the phone number?

Hi,

If you have an Android device, try Pulse SMS

http://www.pulsesms.com/

Its web site works well though, in my experience, the app doesn't.
I know of no way to do this from the iPhone or another phone type,

unfortunately. Obviously, if you want to do this from a number other

than

that of your phone, that is, if you don't care about your SMS appearing
from, and replies to those messages going to, a number different from
your own phone number, you can use any of the VOIP services. See, just
for accessible examples http://www.callcentric.com http://www.les.net
HTH, Aman

Hi, I'm pretty sure you can use email to do this if you get the
carrier's address right. Here's a link on how to do this.

cc ount/ Basically, you open up your email client and put the number
you're sending to in followed by the carriers SMS gateway address.

Hi,


I have been looking into doing this. However, there are so many
choices I am uncertain which to choose.


Has anyone else figured out any of the apps and services that are
accessible using NVDA to do SMS texting from a Windows system? If so
which are accessible and easy to use?


Thanks.
