Send Text Messages Via Email for AT&T, Verizon, Tmobile and More
For a few years now, I have been sending Text Messages directly to mobile phones via Email. I figured this out back in 2005 when I sent an email from my cell phone to my Gmail account. Upon seeing the reply address to be mynumber@tmomail.net, I decided to email it back and see what happened. Much to my surprise, I got a text messsage! From my Email address! I felt pretty awesome, as I should.
I looked up other carriers’ email address equivalent for text messaging. I have tried it with numerous companies and it works all the time. Here’s a list of mobile phone carriers and their texting email address counterpart. This trick has many uses and comes in handy a number of times like setting up software alerts to text you at your phone.
- AT&T – cellnumber@txt.att.net
- Verizon – cellnumber@vtext.com
- T-Mobile – cellnumber@tmomail.net
- Sprint PCS – cellnumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
- Metro PCS – cellnumber@mymetropcs.com
- Virgin Mobile – cellnumber@vmobl.com
- Nextel – cellnumber@messaging.nextel.com
- Boost - cellnumber@myboostmobile.com
- Alltel – cellnumber@message.alltel.com
- US Cellular – cellnumber@email.uscc.net
Many more carriers are available and you can find them all by doing a Google Search.
