Email Text Messages for AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Virgin, & more
By simply sending an email to 1112223333@txt.att.net for example, you can send text messages to cell phones via email. This simple technology can also be applied to your DIY projects. For example, if you were creating a DIY security system, you could use your computer’s parallel port to automatically text you if your alarm goes off.

Now I can type up a shopping list for hubby on the pc, instead of entering it in the phone, which takes forever, even using T9.

I really expected more out of this tutorial. I already knew this (and everyone should) just by simply sending pics to my email. This is nothing shocking or new.
