Are you looking for this service to be available to you, for your
carrier or generally available?
Generally, it is possible to use third party forwarding, such as
http://www.mailsurf.com to get your email forwarded to your phone and
vice versa. This is how I do it.

Another option available through many carriers is the carrier provided
address. This will usually be something like
yournumber@serviceprovider.com. There is sometimes an additional cost
for this service. A problem with it is that spam may come through to
your phone if you choose to have incoming mail forwarded. Filters can
avoid this problem to a certain extent by choosing certain subjects or
senders for mail to be forwarded from.

If you give me the name of your carrier, I would be happy to find if
the service is available and provide instructions to set it up.
