Talk to the service provider for the mobile phone. Some providers offer
an email to SMS service, whereby you are given an email address that
maps to your phone number and the first 140 characters of the body are
sent to the phone.

Someone asked that question in alt.comp.software.thunderbird
recently. You could look there for answers.

In theory, yes, via a SMS/MMS gateway (either a dedicated commercial
service or one of the services of a mobile operator):

But in practice, I do not receive on my phone (Bouygues Telecom,
France, and it was the same with Free Mobile if I recall correctly) the
SMS I send from my MUA (Evolution but it was the same with
Thunderbird). I hope you have better luck :-)
