Andy, Yes, SPRINT is my mobile provider. The way I found my 'phone address' was sending a text message from my phone to an email address...when I checked my email...I saw the address "3362535270 at messaging.sprintpcs.com" which is my phone number. So I replied to it...and a text message showed on my phone...of course there is the limit of length...but it serves its purpose. I'm not sure if it works with all Providers/text phones. I just sent you an email to your account( not the list) from my phone...you can reply...but I think the limit is 150 char...subject included. Hope this helps...let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Mark A.
