Do you end up paying for that then - or who pays for it?
Besides, none of the carriers around here have email-to-sms interfaces,
so I'd disagree with your initial claim.

It seems pretty common, at least with the few carriers I've dealt with
in the US.
As for payment, the sender doesn't pay anything (What are they going
to do -- send a bill to the sender's e-mail address?) and the
recipient pays standard rates for an incoming message. If it's within
your monthly allotment, it's "free." I don't know if there are quotas
imposed to prevent someone from "abusing" the service.

last test I did I found they were very tight with the allocation, made
an email to sms update system for a site and the system was getting
timeouts and rejections left right and center under even moderate traffic.
I think its safe to say that for personal traffic and light updates
you'd be fine, but nothing that would amount to any level of commercial
grade server for even a medium sized app.
