  It's a bit different for each of the providers (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, etc) so you may have to do some more research into it, but generally the process involves sending an email to a particular address. With Verizon, it's simply @vtext.com. (6785551234@vtext.com for example). Here's a simple way to do it: MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(); msg.To = "6785551234@vtext.com"; msg.From = "sender@website.com"; msg.Subject = ""; msg.Body = "This is a text message! Enjoy!"; SmtpMail.Send(msg); An elegant solution would be to create a simple class that builds the email address string based on the provider. Hope this helps!
