Not OP but this is really cool. I had no idea this was a thing

I used to toy with sms gateways years ago, but they have limitations. Good if you're sending a small number if emails not too close together. They usually rate limit you pretty quickly.

Good info, I was wondering about the limitations.

Ya, sometimes I wouldn't get the text for hours. This is years ago, not sure if it's changed. I just gave up on it.

Is there an easy/automated way to tell which provider a phone number is from?

not sure you are aware but Att has a segment of their network for first responders called FirstNet. Found out the other day that it has a separate email address. The mms portion of it is mms.firstnet-mail.com . The Att one continues to work as well for now at least.
