How to Send an Email as a Text to a Cell Phone


Did you know you can send an email to a cell phone as a text?

Maybe you're at your PC and just want to send a quick text without retyping on your phone.

To send an email as a text, you'll need to know the phone number of the recipient and which mobile carrier is used.  For example, AT&T, Verizon or Sprint.

Listed below are the formats for each major carrier.

As an example, to send an email as a text to an AT&T recipient, you'd address your email to the 10DigitPh...@txt.att.net.  It would look like this 12345...@txt.att.net  Of course, replace the 10 digit phone number with the phone number of your recipient.


Alltel
PlainText:  10DigitPhoneNumber@message.alltel.com
Picture or Video: 10DigitPh...@sms.alltel.com

AT&T
Plain Text: 10DigitPhoneNumber@txt.att.net
Picture or Video: 10DigitPh...@mms.att.net

Boost Mobile
10DigitPhoneNumber@myboostmobile.com

Sprint
10DigitPhoneNumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com

T-Mobile
No longer supported by T-Mobile but may work with some subscribers:
10DigitPhoneNumber@tmomail.net

US Cellular
10DigitPhoneNumber@email.uscc.net

Verizon
10DigitPhoneNumber@vtext.com

Virgin Mobile

10DigitPhoneNumber@vmobl.com

This tried and true method still works.  Tho it is quickly being replaced by dedicated chat and messaging apps such as SnapChap, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp that bypass the carriers texting service all together.
