And some providers, like WIND which I use, don't have email to SMS
gateways so I have workaround that I read about online. I set up a
Twitter account specifically for my phone number and turned on SMS
notifications for direct messages. If I want to send a text to my phone,
I can send a direct message to my Twitter account and my phone will
receive it.

I also use IFTTT <https://ifttt.com/wtf> to notify me via SMS of every
event on my Google calendar. It's pretty handy and free.
