Sending SMS e-mail with VisorPhone / VoiceStream

Has anyone with VoiceStream service tried to use the SMS application to send e-mails? I signed up for VoiceStream's "Talk & Text" plan which should let me send SMS e-mail messages. A call to their customer service got me the "SMS E-mail Center Number" (+12063130004) that I entered in the SMS app.

Now, when I create a new message, I select "SMS E-mail Center" as the recipient. But how do I designate the destination e-mail address, the subject, and the body of the message? I tried the e-mail address followed by a space, and then the message. When I sent it out the SMS app said it was successful, but I never received the e-mail.

Thanks for any pointers.

Not sure about VoiceStream, but the majority of EMAIL to SMS gateways work like this:

Send a text message to the gateway number. In the body enter the email address, a space, and the message. Or an email address, the # sign,the subject, the # sign and the body of the email.

I meant to answer this earlier, but got puilled away. But yes, that's it. For VoiceStream, The number you address SMS email messages to nationwide is 500. The SMS gateway number I believe is different depending on your location. I'm in NYC and use +12063130004.
