Sending messages to cell phones, like to pagers, depends on which service 
provider you are sending _to_.  For example, there is a video on AT&T 
(https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1061254) that says 
to send emails to user's [email protected].  For example, if you 
wanted to send an email (text message) to a user's cell phone of 
111-555-1212, you would set the "To:" email address as 
[email protected].

If you want to send pictures to their cell phones, another link at AT&T 
(https://forums.att.com/t5/Data-Messaging-Features-Internet/how-to-send-text-message-to-Cell-phone-via-computer/td-p/1816853) 
shows you would send to the user's [email protected] instead.

For Verizon phones, you would use @vtext.com as their domain portion of the 
email address.

T-Mobile phones would need @tmomail.net as the domain portion.

For a bigger list of carriers and their SMS gateways, I found this
