(note this is OT, i at first didn't realize this was a "SMS and Cingular" thread. apologies)

For voicestream, I have verified that you can send SMS messages to:

-other voicestream customers by entering the VS mobile number.

-any email address by configuring the SMS app to have the correct email center number (500 i believe)

and, yesterday i verified that you can also send SMS to

-any *AT&T* customer (NOT just at&t gsm, but the whole at&t network) by entering the mobile number

this last one is very nice, as it means there is some degree of interop between voicestream and at&t. note that i am NOT sending a message to an at&t phone via the email address conversion (xxxxxxxxxx@mobile.att.net), but just entering the phone number itself.

what i don't know is how many OTHER carriers voicestream's gsm also interoperates with. can anyone test: cingular, sprint, verizon?

if voicestream can send to all 3 of those in addition to at&t, that'd be totally fantastic.
