I appreciate all the responses. To start, I can easily limit it to company issued phones - I know the carrier. The intent of the original post was to get feedback on web services (or other source?) for determining the carrier for a given number.
All our phones will be @vtext.com, but if we just get a number (perhaps, from a customer or vendor), I'll need a lookup method to get the domain to send to.
Sending the email/text once, I know the carrier, is a no brainer and works fine (tested to my phone). Pretty sure I would not have considered Twitter as a viable option.
Thanks again.

Another thing to consider is privacy ... cell phone carriers are covered by privacy laws ... I don't think / know if twitter messages would be covered.
With a text message you have a expectation of a certain level of privacy. With twitter you should have no expectation of privacy.
