Trying to send outlook email and it converts to a text message on a mobile phone that's using Tmobile service.

How do I find the list for top providers (T-Mobile, Verizon, ATT, etc.)?

Yes. If the mobile carrier is known, a web search can typically be used to find that carrier’s documented address or format for the destination (for example, for SMS or MMS gateways) and then use that information in an application that relies on web search or related APIs.

For programmatic scenarios, Bing-based services expose web-related metadata for entities, such as the webSearchUrl field on some result types, which points to Bing’s search results page for that item. This kind of metadata can help confirm or discover the correct address or endpoint associated with a known entity.
