I believe you can send texts via email (via a EMG) on most phone systems.
Just followed up, seems that this feature is going away this year or has 
already gone.
Shame. They claimed it was a spam magnet, but I've never gotten a spam 
via email to text.
I'm guessing they wanted to mothball the infrastructure.
