Day 1 - Text to Email, and Back Again.

It's surprisingly easy to send a text message to an email address, just put in the email instead of a phone number, and off it goes!

It's just a tiny bit more tricky to send emails as a text message, but all you need is the number of phone you want to message and the phone's carrier to check against this list:

Alltel [10-digit phone number]@message.alltel.com Example: 1234567890@message.alltel.com AT&T (formerly Cingular) [10-digit phone number]@txt.att.net [10-digit phone number]@mms.att.net (MMS) [10-digit phone number]@cingularme.com Example: 1234567890@txt.att.net Boost Mobile [10-digit phone number]@myboostmobile.com Example: 1234567890@myboostmobile.com Nextel (now Sprint Nextel) [10-digit telephone number]@messaging.nextel.com Example: 1234567890@messaging.nextel.com Sprint PCS (now Sprint Nextel) [10-digit phone number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com [10-digit phone number]@pm.sprint.com (MMS) Example: 1234567890@messaging.sprintpcs.com T-Mobile [10-digit phone number]@tmomail.net Example: 1234567890@tmomail.net US Cellular [10-digit phone number]email.uscc.net (SMS) [10-digit phone number]@mms.uscc.net (MMS) Example: 1234567890@email.uscc.net Verizon [10-digit phone number]@vtext.com [10-digit phone number]@vzwpix.com (MMS) Example: 1234567890@vtext.com Virgin Mobile USA [10-digit phone number]@vmobl.com Example: 1234567890@vmobl.com
