[email-masked] will ensure the message arrives as an SMS.

[email-masked] will deliver as two-way net message (request to view).  If the particular handet is not provisioned for two-way messaging it will be delivered in the format previously mentioned.

You can also do it thru the PSTN by calling XXX-XXX-NOTE and entering 10-digit number and message.  I'm not sure if N still supports this method.

One drawback wth SMS is that there is no way to send real SMS from the iDEN handset.  Need N's two-way messaging or WAP enabled site in order to send.  Or I suppose a Java app would work if you enjoy Motorola's product distribution.  But that's another story.

Two-way messaging is 500 characters with 250 display capabilities.  Messages exceeding 250 are split into 2 messages.  SMS max is 240 with 120 display, longer than 120 is split into two.  A pedant may subsequently correct these figures.
