Text Message A Cell Phone Using Email

Most people don’t realize that you can send a short message from a computer to the phone, since your email client doesn’t accept telephone numbers only, as a telephone does. The secret is the carrier.

Each mobile phone carrier maintains a mail server that allows them to handle short messaging between their phones. And that means each mobile phone has to have its own email address. For instance, if your mobile number is (213) 330-1515 and you use Verizon – to send a message to your phone, you’d enter 2133301515@vtext.com in the To field in Outlook, and then simply continue with your email as normal. You’ll also need to keep your message short, since SMS only transfers the first 110 characters of your message.

Each wireless carrier maintains a mail server specifically for short message services. The most common ones are T-Mobile, @tmobile.com; Verizon, @vtext.com; SprintPCS, @messaging.sprintpcs.com; AT&T, @mobile.att.net; and Nextel, @messaging.nextel.com.

NOTE: Text messaging charges apply to and from the mobile device, unless you’re signed up for unlimited text messaging services.
