Teleflip is Dead?

Well, it looks like Teleflip.com is down. This is a shame because Teleflip made sending SMS messages through email very easy. Say you wanted to text someone, you could just email the person's phone number like so.

13335551212@teleflip.com.

The only drawback was that teleflip put a small plug at the end of the SMS message, which took up about 10% of the available message characters. But hey, what do you want for free?

I hope this is a momentary outage, but I have a feeling teleflip will not be coming back. Sometimes a good thing for free ends up being a bad thing for the business offering the free service.

Anyone know of something similar?
