I would like to send messages to cell phones from an email account. However, I don't want to determine which carrier the recipient is using as shown here.

Is there any extension that will work/convert for all mobile providers?

What about the Google groups and the members set their notices to individual messages sent to email? That's something we use among ourselves.

No.

What about getting a voip number from voip.ms or a similar company that supports SMS?

You might try this option.

A little expensive maybe - 4 cents per outbound text (inbound is free).

These work well from a web interface, but are generally designed to resist being used to send out large amounts of SMS in an automated fashion, and are designed to resist being used to build a "do it yourself" email to SMS gateway.

There are some open-source gateways that have a large list of providers and try to dispatch based upon the provider they guess the end customer has.

I have a voip.ms number and text messages are free. But the SMS service is still in beta, and they don't seem to be getting much done with it. The support fellow I talked with told me to email their team with any suggestions to try to apply a bit of pressure to get it done. At this point they will cut you off if you try to do marketing with it, since it's free. Their price will be reasonable, but who knows when you can do it.

I checked RingCentral, and my account with them doesn't allow outside text messages, but it also said that my supervisor can change that. So you should be able to set your RingCentral account to do this. I didn't spend much time on it, but it looks like you can separate phone numbers with commas, so that might be worth a try.
