Hi iranic,

BlackBerry has 8 different handheld products, according to the
handheld product page on their web site:
http://www.blackberry.net/products/handhelds/index.shtml

They have a comparison chart showing all of the features of these 8
handheld products:
http://www.blackberry.net/products/handhelds/comparison.shtml

According to the chart, all of the products support wireless email,
but not all of them support the sending of SMS messages.  The
following handhelds are the ones that can send SMS messages:

- BlackBerry 6750
- BlackBerry 6710
- BlackBerry 5810

Now if you have one of the other products, you can still send a SMS
message by using email.  There are several companies that offer
services allowing you to do this; some of them will let you do it for
free, and others will let you do it for a fee.  In addition, some of
these services are only available in certain countries.  The way that
you send the SMS through email depends on the service that you use.

Here is a list of several free services, as well as some pay-to-use
ones:

If the person you want to send SMS messages to can receive ICQ SMS
messages, then you can follow these steps to send a SMS message
through email for free:

There are several other services available, and you can find more by

i don't get what you are asking... depending on the cellphone provider
it may already have an email account.. so ifi wanted to email someones
cell from my blackberry i would put in 519555555@pcs.rogers.com and it
would be sent to the phone number... you would have to tell me you
provider and i could find out what the email address is...

hope it works for you any other questions just ask
