Tip: Send SMS messages via email

[MyquiH]

Realizing that this may be a "well DUH" forehead-slapper of a tip, but I just found this out for myself...:
You can send AT&T users (i.e. iPhone...) text messages using email: Just send an email to '1234567890@mobile.mycingular.com' (no tic-marks) and the body of the email will be sent as a text message to the person at 123-456-7890. Yes, the address is "cingular", but it works for AT&T folk. It's nice for times when you have email, but not a cell phone and want to text someone.

Not sure if it works for phone #s outside of the US, though since it is a legacy Cingular 'feature'.

If I wanted to send the photo to 561-456-1230

All of the prefixes seem to work except the AT&T one. My wife has a iphone as well and when I tried to send a photo to her, it didn't go through. The prefix did work with my friend that has a verizon phone though. Any ideas?

I just sent a txt via email to my sister using the address:

XXXXXXXXXX@txt.att.net

It looks like they've changed it since the merger.

Question. Me and my friend did a lil' test and he has the Verizon NV. First off I know how to send pics(MMS)to anyone as long as I know what carrier they have. For AT&T customers we can send pics(via email) to each other all day long but when my friend that has the Verizon NV tries to send me a pic I don't get it. He has to send it to my regular email addy(which I get on my iPhone)to view the pics. Is there a way yet to do this? TIA! Sorry if I hijacked.

xxxxxxxxxx@vtext.com for verizon with the x's being the 10-digit phone number

[aladdinjaz]

for text yournumber@txt.att.net

for pix or video

yournumber@mms.att.net



even better if you are on ATT get yourself a media-ID,
whatever you want .... like "DanJah1"

then your addys above will replace yournumber by your media-ID

e.g. DanJah1@mms.att.net !!!:2cool:

[crankypebs]

Hey there. I realize I am a little late, but, I was wondering;
in regards to the sending of an email to someone's iphone text
how do they "text" back to your email?
Thanks
