Sending Email to a Cell/Text Number

  •  

    SMS isn’t just for sending text messages from one phone to another — it’s also a great way to get email messages on your phone.

    All you need to know is your cell phone’s email address.

    Most carriers have “SMS gateways” which take email messages from the Internet and deliver them to their customers’ cell phones as SMS text messages.

    Sound complicated? It’s not. All you really need to do is find your carrier in the list below, and then use the pattern shown there to figure out your email address.

    And remember, there is still that 140 character limit.
