Not the way he wants to do it, send text as email.

He's actually talking about doing the exact opposite, sending text as email, not as SMS.

Sure, but thats the opposite of what he wants to do.

All the current smartphones that do email have to be setup with
the email server you want to use in the same way that PC email
clients do, particularly with the url or ip of the email server and
the username and password to use.

Come to think of it, its not at all clear how the Nokia 7250i can
do email even if you can find the mobile number to send it to
because it has no way to specify the username and password
even if the number does specify the email server to use.
