There are some services around that act as email->sms gateways such as:-

http://www.sms-service.co.uk/email-to-sms.html

Generally, I think you have to purchase credit before you can use the service. 
I have filled in the customer service feedback form at Virgin Mobile to ask 
if they could provide this service, as an addition to their current services, 
operating like an authenticated SMTP server. It could be set up to take the 
normal user account name and password for logging into the web site for 
authentication, charging the SMS messages to the customer's existing account. 
Virgin Mobile responded, saying yes they think it's a good idea. If more 
people ask their mobile providers for the service, it might help to get it 
provided.
