Verizon email-to-text solution for alarm system

I have an alarm system that sends an email when the warning conditions are met. I need to receive the alerts as a text. My provider is Verizon which no longer supports receiving emails as texts. How can I receive emails as text messages?

The short answer is 'you don't unless you want to switch carriers'.


The longer answer is 'even if you switch carriers, you're going to run into the same problem sooner or later'.

Carriers are starting to get on the bandwagon and blocking emails to SMS and shutting down those gateways except for corporate customers.


That system has proven to be too easily abused.
