Vodafone do a text to email service as well, but you have to
be a vodafone customer for it to work. They then give you 2
numbers to receive the reply on, either the number which goes
back to your mobile, or the number which goes to your email
inbox.

It's an addon for outlook I beleive, we use it at work and
it's quite good, the replys are very fast.
