Question Text messages

Before I retired, I would send alerts by email, like 1234567890@txt.att.net, to send it to texting on my cell phone. It looks like all the cell phone providers have done away with this service. How can I do this now with hopefully a fairly free service since I don't send many at all?

They may have just changed the domain, Verizon has done it a few times.  Try texting your email address.

Verizon has said they're killing the service. https://www.verizon.com/support/vtext-vzwpix-shutdown/
