All cell phones have an Email address. To Send a message to the cellphone using your internal email, simply type the following

Eg: With Nextel it is the 10 digit phone_number @messaging.nextel.com. For example, if your cell phone number was 212-555-1212 the Email address would be 2125551212@messaging.nextel.com

You should double check with your carrier to find out their "Email formula" for the system used by your phone.
