How to do that?

Put the phone number in front of a domain for each carrier, a list is here.

Do they work? For Portugal it still lists Telecel - which hasn't existed since '99.
My list is accurate as of a year or so ago, or at least they don't bounce back when you send an email to them.
Thanks, this hack (if it's a hack) looks interesting.
It works, but know that it is nowhere as reliable as an SMS sent through a carrier's gateway.
I am using Telegram for such notifications. I made a simple Telegram bot, it does not do anything itself, I just use it as a sender of my messages to my phone. And I have a particular web address, which collects requests from any of my scripts and it just resends it (it is a simple python script) through the bot to me.
You can check Twilio's website for information.
