Does anyone know of a service that will send SMS messages over the internet, and can be automated?

Like to avoid:
I knew of a professional service that required the end user to define their carrier, and then they converted it to the built-in email address (EX: Verizon is <10-digit phone number>@vtext.com)
I found a (non-confirmed) list of many of the carriers here:
ATT - [10-digit phone number] @ txt.att.net
Sprint - [10-digit phone number] @ messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile - [10-digit phone number] @ tmomail.net
US Cellular - [10-digit phone number] @ email.uscc.net
Verizon - [10-digit phone number] @ vtext.com
Zeep Mobile is a free service, and I think it's pretty good. I'm planning on using it for a project in the near future.
You can script PHP to do this by sending email to phone#@carrieraddress.com. Here is a list of the email format for different carriers:

You can write a script and then use a cron job or service scheduler to automate the messages.
