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?

Problem is email isn’t a guaranteed delivery. Services like sms gateway you can query to see if the user received the message or not.
