SMS or text messages are delivered through your wireless carrier and email is delivered through the internet. You can send email through your phone or deliver text messages via your computer so the main difference is in the delivery I suppose. SMS messages may charge the user minutes or credits where as free email accounts generally don't. Smart phones allow users to send and receive email to save on the cost of texting. Another alternative is to use a chat service through Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, AIM or another instant messaging service.
