Email Text Messages for AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Virgin, & more

If you’ve got Cincinnati Bell Wireless it’s cellnumber@gocbw.com

Now I can type up a shopping list for hubby on the pc, instead of entering it in the phone, which takes forever, even using T9.

Indeed, it’s nice to be able to just type a message instead of taking ages to text it. Thanks for the additional link adam.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!_______Bonno.

anyone having problems with tmobile email txt today?

Um…nope, it’s working well for me.

I really expected more out of this tutorial. I already knew this (and everyone should) just by simply sending pics to my email. This is nothing shocking or new.

Kurt Beltran, you, sir, are awesome.

It’s more of an FYI for those who don’t know they can already do this.

DOESNT WORK WITH T-MOBILE

Some networks handle email texts differently than others. Some transmit instantly and some take an hour or so to deliver.

give ways to send email text messages to airtel, reliance, aircel ,bsnl mobile phones

I tried all the ways that i can imagine to try t-mobile receive emails on my cell. No progress at all. Any idea. tmomail.net not worked.

Hmm..That’s odd, T-Mobile worked when I tried it.

Works great with Boost, Virgin and ATT. Just tested today. thanks!

when I send email from my pc, (on comcast), to a att cell @txt.att.net, they always fail. Is there a fix?

MetroPCS email is

1[cellnumber]@mymetropcs.com e.g. 14352345762@mymetropcs.com

I never knew you could txt someone by entering the cell #@vmobl.com or which ever source you use and it would go thru. This is great!! I can now text my kids from work! Thanks for the info.

i use this to txt all my friends – its like using my ipod touch to txt

t-mobile works great i first sent a message to my e-mail then i just reply to it with my daily things to do. and use the other addresses and have had all work that i have tried

Heya! This was excellent I knew it was possible to do this, but I never took the time to find the proper addresses. Thanks for saving me the work! I am soooo glad I signed up for your emails. Love em! Am going to add the security program as well, great idea!

Doesn’t work on verizon for me. Everyone thinks Verizon is best phone company but I just found Verizon’s FLAW! I tested on AT&T and it worked by email to text then replied back

Verizon & att Worked for me. No issues. Thanks.

Try using phonenumber@vzwpix.com for Verizon instead of @vtext.com. That’s what I use and it works fine.

Mk I have a problem with the tmoble texting / emailing IT DNT WORK ( any fixes I need to b able to use it ‘!!!!!!

So sorry to bump such an old thread but I had one question:
can you use this internationally? For instance I’ve got a friend in Canada and I’m txting her email address but it’s her phones email… Number@AT&T.net or whatever. Does this charge me?

Yeah, I don’t see why not.

This is how I communicate with my son when I travel internationally. My cell phone isn’t global, but I have internet service so this process allows me to contact him on his cell even though mine doesn’t work over here! Verizon works great

You can also:
1, make a gmail account
2, go to contacts, add a contact name with phone number and save it
3, go to your inbox, on the right hand side or left there is a box that says chat..Click it and type in your contacts name, click send SMS and text them.they can reply, and a sound will play as well as the tab will flicker when they respond.

It’s easier if you have a back berry or android. anything that allows Microsoft exchange you should set it to automaticly back up your copntacts to gmail. This is good becuase:

1 all your contacts will be backed up
2 you wont have to add them in manually, and its always up to date when you add a new contact on your phone

do the texts from phone to email count as normal texts or extra stuff?

I’ve never been charged any extra for it. Might want to check with your carrier though just in case.

if i email a text message to my cell can i reply to it with a pic?? and also will this count as internet usage??

No, it doesn’t count as internet, it just counts as a text (per my experience). I’m not sure if pictures work, I’ve never tried it. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Vocalogic offers an API for looking up the carrier for wireless phone numbers. It also returns the email addresses to send SMS and MMS messages to the phone.

The link is: http://www.vocalogic.com/sms_mms.php

Do you know what happens if the recipient tries to REPLY to the text message (that I just sent via email)?

For example, I sent a text message via email from gmail to my friend’s AT&T phone (USA). The text message says it’s from 1410000001.

Just wondering!

it arrives as an email in their inbox

Does it cost extra on Sprint ?

Nope, no extra on any carrier that I know of.

This works great! Thanks a lot!

AT&T – cellnumber@txt.att.net
Verizon – cellnumber@vtext.com
T-Mobile – cellnumber@tmomail.net
Sprint PCS – cellnumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Virgin Mobile – cellnumber@vmobl.com
US Cellular – cellnumber@email.uscc.net
Nextel – cellnumber@messaging.nextel.com
Boost – cellnumber@myboostmobile.com
Alltel – cellnumber@message.alltel.com

AT&T lets you set up an alias as long as no one else is using it. So instead of 1234567890@txt.att.net, you can register an alias like jdoe47@@txt.att.net. This way, you don’t have to give out your phone number. See http://mymessages.wireless.att.com/do/phelp?l=en-US&v=att

If you are having problems with it not sending, Make sure your e-mail is formatted as PLAIN TEXT.

I have MS Outlook 2007 setup by default to send e-mail formatted as HTML, and if I don’t change it to plain text, some cell carriers ignore it, some try to send it as html, and some try to send it as a multimedia message. (We use this message for our volunteer call-up for emergencies)
