While I know there are some providers out there that provide a sort of e-mail service, which lets you send a message to someone's phone by sending an email to something like 12345678912@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, they don't all work that way, so it's most likely rather specific to network areas/providers, etc., but just wondering off-hand how you would otherwise try something like sending a text message to someone's phone, either using something like a sim card plugged into phone, or however...? This is in C# etc., since know could easily enough do it off the phone using python, but not sure how would initiate the process, unless did something like (and this might be a bit insane) initiate something like a bluetooth connection to a python app running on the handset, waiting for a connection, and then sending a message from there...?
