I'm just starting to use text messaging and I've found a couple of things
confusing. Can I send a text message to anyone with a relatively late model
cell phone? Do the service carriers of the person sending the message and
the recipient have to be the same? For example,. if I send a text message
from my Sprint PCS phone to a friend with T-Mobile will he receive the text
message?

Oh yess you can! I've sent text messages cross-provider from Sprint to
TMobile, Sprint to Cingular, and Sprint to Verizon without any issues,
all text messages were recevied.

Transpose the c's and a's in my e-mail address to reply.

It's more likely to be a bad SMS gateway configuration in her coverage
area, or a problem with the setup in her specific account.
Nearly all of the wireless carriers use a third party contractor to
handle intercarrier SMS, such as VeriSign:
