SMS via email to Comcel

Does anyone know or use an SMS/email gateway address to send SMS messages (ie cell phone messages) to a comcel user in Colombia. comcel's website has a utility to send, but, I can send email from my cellphone, and I'd prefer to send SMS this way.

Thanks in advance for any and all help/advice on this.

I send SMS and E-mail’s from my cellular in U.S.(Cingular) to Colombia (Comcel and others) with no problems. Be aware that if you use the Comcel website that they charge the recipient for the message.

from your cell, you should write the message and send it to 011-57-310-...

Thanks I'm charged a hefty fee to send SMS, is there a way to send to an email address (for example) 011573101234567 at comcel.com

Has anyone gotten something like this to work?

Thanks

Comcel website Go to the Comcel website and you can send from there. www.comcel.com Someone mentioned the reciecient gets charged, but I know it's not much. I send text messages everyday to my novia and she has a prepago plan. It does not use up much of her credits? If you send from your phone in the US, there is usually a hefty fee YOUR carrier will charge. Good luck!

my novia uses comcel, and she tells me that the fee (3,000 pesos) is the same to receive my text messages (sms) whether i send them using www.comcel.com or using my cingular gms phone.

but to the specific question, i don't know how to send it to an email address Ifor example, 3155306651 at comcel.customer.com.co) instead of a phone number.
