It should be noted that AT&T Wireless for instance offers alphanumeric
paging with an e-mail gateway. An enabled phone can receive short
e-mails, but cannot send messages.
Also, one way to send SMSs to Switzerland and other countries is to use
some web sites (for example, http://www.tropea.it/servizi/sms.htm or
http://www.media.it/autoexpo/sms.htm) which offer the service for free.
