Unfortunately though many US carriers have this feature, lot of others
do not. The reason is obvious, it makes it so easy for people     spam
with SMS.
if i understand you correctly you're saying that by making it difficult to send SMS messages spammers will be less likely to use it. so then won't only the spammers spend the time to develop automated systems by which to send SMS spam? I am saying nothing of the kind. Just telling you what the telecos say. (at least those who do not provide the email to sms feature) :-)

interestingly enough, you can deliver MMS also as an email. Unfortunately you often run into the same kind of telecos. -- Raditha Dissanayake. --------------------------------------------- http://www.radinks.com/print/upload.php SFTP, FTP and HTTP File Upload solutions
