This module sends emails, however most mobile network providers also provide a free email-to-text
service that can be very useful with this module. For instance, AT&T emails look like
[email protected]
where the number portion represents the mobile phone number. You will want
to google “email to text provider” to find out what email address you should use (replacing “provider”
with your mobile service provider).
