It's always been free to SMS cell phone via email. Google just made it idiot proof.
IE, Sprint: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blast away... TIP: Keep a directory of the SMS address of all your employees somewhere off site.

I have not had any problems whatsoever with spam on Gmail, and I use it voraciously. The spam, filters they have in place seem to have protected me very well.

Gmail is, or has, become the mail account of choice with spammers. I run a forum for my wife, and we had to ban registrations from gmail accounts. Pity Google does nothing (that I know of) about the abuse.
