The same way that you'd send email to anybody, it makes no difference that the person you're sending the email to is accessing it via their phone, you just need to send it to their email address.

Do you mean to email a phone? Or do you mean to send an SMS from a computer?

Macky is correct in relation to the former. You mail to the email address. It is for the recipient to make the arrangements for his phone to pick up the message.

If you mean the latter, there are various free sites which claim they will forward SMSs from your desktop - most of them don't seem to work. There is however a very cheap service at 18185.co.uk - they will reliably deliver an SMS for 1p and you can make it appear that it came from your own phone (mobile and land-line)

Orange have a free email to SMS thingy, but the person who owns the phone will need to have an email address set up, then when you send an email to that address they will receive an SMS - if they have it set up properly.

Go to orange.net, you'll be able to set it up there.

The SMS will just tell you the sender and title of the email, but you can access the full email via the orange wap thing.
