This is a good point. With that said, one does not necessarily need to know the provider, it just makes the process more direct. An alternative approach is to send a message to every provider using the same number. The invalid addresses will likely bounce back, but the correct match will go through.

Definitely don't use your Gmail account to send them then unless you want to end up as one of those people that got their account suspended.
I’m wondering if it is possible to find a list of provider emails from other countries such as BraZil.
I mentioned this website in the post. It has a list of providers for different countries (Brazil included). I don't know how up-to-date they are, but it might be a good starting point. You can also always try contacting the carriers directly. https://email2sms.info/
Thank you, what I missed is how you do to find out for other providers. In Brazil you covered 50% of the carriers. But how can I help you to find out the other ones and update the information for you. Should I contact the providers and ask for it and send a Pull Request?

Again, thank you for putting this into a post!
