I think you should go with the email method people above have mentioned. Just be aware that text messages are limited (for most carriers) to 255 characters/message. If you have people signing up on your website, I'd just have them enter their ten-digit phone number and select from a dropdown box what carrier they are. Should work.

For your convinience, here's a listing of a good chunk of smtp->sms servers:

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular/AT&T: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

If you really want to have fun, you can also do this with good ol' TAP (Telocator Access Protocol) Sure, you have to dial-up to a computer... but it's so much fun!

I have AT&T and I have found that it is mynumber@txt.att.net or if it's multimedia it's mynumber@mms.att.net.
