No. I've worked with all of the major mobile carriers in my country and none of them have ever provided an email to SMS gateway themselves. They've provided an interface to their SMS centers instead. What I find more flexible would be to set up Kannel (www.kannel.org) and use it to interface with the mobile carrier's SMSC (or to a wireless/GSM modem). Kannel provides you with an HTTP GET interface to send SMS, and if you want to receive SMS Kannel will act as an HTTP client to a server you designate and submit the message received also via HTTP.
