Alright, just got a new phone, a Samsung SGH-T629.  Had a Nokia 3220.  I
know I couldn't send an e-mail by SMS with the 3220, but now I wrote that
down to the phone being relativly old and low-end.  However, I can't seem to
do it with my T629, either.  Am I over looking something, or is there
something I need to do, or am I just not gonna be able to send an SMS to an
e-mail address.  I also tried sending an e-mail to my phone from OE
(<number>@tmomail.com), and it got bounced back as undeliverable...

Well that's because it's [#]@tmomail.net not .com

Yeah, my bad.  :P  I fixed that, and now I can send a message from my e-mail
to my phone, but I can't start a 'conversation' from my phone...  I can
reply to an e-mail, but I can't send one from my phone first.

IIRC, you can send e-mail from any phone (including your 3220) "the hard
way" by sending an SMS to "500" in the format e-mail address, space, body
of message.
For example, text to 500:
support@tmobile.com How do I send e-mail via SMS from my mobile phone?

Many phones have an "send e-mail" menu function that prompts you for
address, subject, body and then automatically sends it to "500" (or
whatever your carrier uses for an e-mail delivery trigger- T-Mo USA uses
500.)  Heck, my old Nokia 8290 had that function and I bought it 5 or 6
years ago.  If your phone didn't come from T-Mo you'll probably have to
do it manually or find the menu item that lets you define the "e-mail
gateway" number.  IIRC, for example, Cingular TDMA used 32767, while T-
Mo, as I've said above, uses 500.

Good luck!
