Anyone know of any web-based services (paid or free) that allow text messaging to cell phones? Thanks.

I know in the US (well at least the GSM carriers), you can navigate to the provider's website and send a message for free.

I don't know whether this is universal:

For T-Mobile(US), you can send an email to XXXYYYZZZZ@tmomail.net where XXX-YYY-ZZZZ is the recipient's cell number, and it will be received as an SMS (or an MMS if the recipient's service allows for it).

Or, just send the phone number@teleflip.com

Teleflip will figure out what the provider is.

Teleflip will figure out what the provider is.Yes! That's the one I was looking for when I found the links above! ^ ^ ^

but...Teleflip currently only supports valid North American numbers, but is working towards International support in the future. Check back periodically with us for updates.

I use Bigfoot SMS, it even allows me to send texts to Orange France, which I can't do on T-mobile.

I have been using www.telemessage.com successfully for ~ 6 months. The cost is 10 cents (U.S.) per SMS, they are delivered in seconds with 99+% releiability. I typically use their outlook plug-in, but sometimes have to use the web interface.
