E-mailing a text message to my phone?

Many years ago, my computers at work were set up to e-Mail a short text
message to my cell phone when they needed "professional help". The
address I sent to was something like 1234567890@msg.myvzw.com where
123456etc was the number of my cell phone.

That bit of magic doesn't seem to work any longer. Is this still possible?

Try 1234567890@vtext.com.

If you sign up at vtext.com, you can also set up an alias for your
phone, in the form of alias@vtext.com.
