While many cell phone providers do have an SMTP to SMS gateway for their 
customers, they are emphatically not related, and it isn't a general 
thing.  Also, not all providers have an SMTP to SMS gateway setup.

They are in fact different technologies, and while you *CAN* forward 
from one to another, they are not the same, and not linked.
