For example, you can find a carrier's email-to-SMS gateway so that you can send SMS to recipient from your email account, see or. Unfortunately, I believe that lookup process isn't really available for free, hence free services like Textbelt probably resort to alternate options. to find out which phone carrier the recipient is on based on the phone number and then passes it to the SMS gateway of the recipient's carrier. The plan provider receives your SMS to recipient's phone number and does a lookup via some directory/algorithm, etc. For this to work, the carrier needs to offer an email-to-SMS gateway for us to send the message through via an email like of it this way, basically, you pay (as part of your phone service plan) to send SMS to recipient from your phone. It goes to the carrier's mail server and gets translated to an SMS message that then routes to the phone. The way the service works for sending SMS text messages is by routing the message by email. The current supported list of carriers can be found at.
