Sending text messages to cell phones..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Is it possible to write a Windows application that will send a short
text-only message to a cell phone, either by using the receiver's phone
number (ie. sendMessage("Hello", phoneNum) ) or by sending it to any cell
phone within a radius of the PC running the application?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Do all text messages work like this?
For example, when I receive a txt message in my cell phone from the same
company that provides my service, are they sending it via an email?
