I hope this doesn’t catch on. Until recently, I paid for text messages, and there’s no guarantee I’ll continue to get free SMS in the future. If I wanted someone to text me on my phone, I would give them the information to do so myself.
Kenneth you suck dont be such a snob we cant all afford cell phones like you you greedy bastard …F*C#@ YOU!!!
works great for those that cant afford a land line and only one cell phone this way i can at least get a hold of someone if a emergency happens
I totally agree with you Misty.
i know this like totally rocks. like all my friends have a phone but i like dont and like i can totally talk to them now. THIS TOTALLY LIKE ROCKS!
Hey Mindy, Like why don’t you like say like one more time. Like it’s totally like not annoying.
PLEASE tell me that Mindy was just kidding with her message. Or, tell me what Valley she is from so I can make sure my daughters stay as far away from that lack of intelligence as possible (like, you know like what like I mean)…
way of success
Anyone with a cell phone who knows your cell phone number can text you without you wanting them to. Knowing how to do it via email doesn’t change that really:)
Totally agree with Kenneth. I do use this to txt my wife, who’s plan I know has unlimited text. Just easier when I am at work and I know she’s on the road or away from a computer. Verizon is the service and it works great. I don’t think I would just text people that I don’t already normally text and get texts from – I mean, you have to know the carrier to use this – I don’t generally know someone’s carrier unless I have talked to them about phones or if we are already texting each other.
In some cases [*] the one who pays is the one who receives the SMS. ;-P
[*] In Argentina, for example.
One more tip for BPL users in India……
This is really good trick that I use…..
Email alert:
The moment you get an email you can get an alert on your mobile phone. This is how it works:
If you have a gmail ID (that’s what I use, hence am giving that example) go to “Setting” in top right corner. Then go to “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” then select “Forward a copy of incoming mail to” and put in your bplmobile email address…. that is 98xxxxxxxx@bplmobile.com (replace xs with your BPL mobile number). Now Save changes and enjoy!
Try sending an email to your gmail account through some other account, not through the same gmail account, and you will get an sms with brief details of the email. Have fun
Thanks for a great tip. I might tell others about it in coming articles
Please help me anyone for email alert on vodafone india
you are welcome
unfortunately the email feature for bplmobile.com is not currently working
I once had set something similar to this up. I wanted to be notified via SMS whenever my wife emailed me. In gMail I set up a filter to forward any email from her address to my cell phone’s SMS address. I could then head to my email box to read the actual email.
I use to use this method to forward all my gmail to it on my enV verizon phone. The mobile email client on that phone was awful and by setting up my gmail this way was like ‘push mail’ to my cell. It also only sent one txt and not the full email, so it was more so a preview and if I wanted to read the rest I could just go to my gmail on the phones browser.
Works on Telus Mobility; thanks for the tip. This will make it way easier for my husband to reach me.
Hi,
Vodacom SA requires registration so that they can send you advertisements and limit you to 3 per day. They SUCK!
hey this actually works so cool.. thanx for the info..
This is very handy for me when my husband stops by Super Walmart and asks if I want him to pick anything up while he’s there. He’ll forget something if my list is more than 3 items, so I’ve been texting him a list. Even though I have T9, texting a shopping list is a pain, and most times I’m near my computer, so I’ve been emailing the shopping list to him since I learned about it from another tech blog (whose list of servers wasn’t nearly as detailed as yours LOL). We didn’t do this very much at first, so I didn’t arrange to have unlimited text. But since Ike, I decided to pay the extra $5/month to ensure I’ll be able to communicate during any major power losses.
But, although this is convenient for me at this time, I share concerns with Kenneth and Alan. It would be so easy for spammers and marketers to rig something up to send spam texts, which are annoying, but for people that have to pay for each text msg, it will cost them in addition to being annoying.
I’m not pleased with my default T-Mobile options that either don’t have blocking capabilities, or maybe they’re buried so deeply that I haven’t found it yet (I’ve been through my menus many times, and have never found blocking options). I’d love for phones to give options similar to IM programs, where only allowed people could call, text, or send photos.
If those options are available with some unlocked phone hacks, I’d LOVE to read about it here 8^)
Log on to the My T-Mobile site and under the My Account menu select Change Services. Under Messaging, there should be options to block certain types of messages. If you have a messaging bundle, it will only block messages that would otherwise be charged, such as international messages or messages over your bundle allowance.
Don’t think they have options that would allow you to only receive messages from certain senders, though.
why dont you just write it on a piece of paper?
Nothing for Spain?
I’m trying whith 123456789@orange.es and I recive a SMS saying me that I have an email. But I don’t see the mail (sms).
Thanks!!
What is the APN for t-mobile Netherlands then? Tried all the options, but didn’t work..
is there nothing for italian carriers?
this is gonna be fun spamming friends and family lol
Please change you story to “many” cell phones and not any cell phones since most telcos have closed that option international.
Thanks for the useful info…
btw, What’s the APN for AirTel (Maharashtra, India) ?
I think this list is old, Argentina companies are different now: Movicom is now Movistar, and CTI is now Claro, so I think they should be changed their email addresses.
as far as i know, personal blocked the mail service, and now charges it $40 (near U$S10) the 500 mail to sms per month (used them for a datacenter monitoring alarm)
I’m not shure about the other companies (and shurely changed theire name)
http://gizmosms.com/
Limited to 80 characters, but you don’t need to know the carrier…
It’s not as easy
gizmos , are using this list , they are all free email sms ,
but they are giving a way falls information , they just put the country name , but it only works with some carries of that country ,
THERE WILL BE A GREAT OPTION @ FASHIONCONNECT.COM SOON
YOU CAN CREAT YOUR OWN MAS TEXT LIST AND SEND IT OUT AT ONCE
VERY USEFUL TO ME THANKS
I tried thanks
This is free only to those who don’t pay for incoming messages.
most of us don’t pay for them
just what i was looking for since “send to SMS” was retired from google toolbar.
if i’m online and looking for phone nos. or other info instead of jotting it down on a slip of paper, which invariably gets lost, i send an SMS to my cell and can retrieve later
many thanks
wintkat
You have any UK based lists?
UK ones are included as well, just go theough the second list. I personally tested the gateway for UK T Mobile and it worked.

Hey,
for cincinnati bell, a smaller carrier located in the greater cincinnati region (inc. northern ky, east indiania, and through dayton) you can do (ten-digit number)@mms.gocbw.com.
In Mexico is 529991234567@mmsnextel.com.mx (ten-digit number)@mmsnextel.com.mx and works exactly like Spring-Nextel.
Wow, makes perfect sense doesnt it!

are you sure it’s free? I’ve used this before and I think the person getting the SMS still pays.
No, it’s not free for many people. Which is why you can make many an chick happy when her ex-boyfriend

Thanks a lot, it’s indeed a very comrehensive list.
Doesn’t seem to work for Mobitel, Sri Lanka. Can you help?
Check out the link above, maybe they got something for SriLanka there as well
Cellular One in Northeast AZ is number@cellularoneaz.net
Rogers Canada
Note: a monthly fee of $5 applies when you subscribe to the Email -to -TXT Direct Delivery Option.
*Regular Text Message charges will apply to reply to a Message Alert.
Oh.. sorry for my earlier comment. It works fine for Mobitel, Sri Lanka.
Thanks for the info.
Great!
Anyone know how to do this with the mexican carrier telcel?
You can’t, at least you have a month plan or add the module.
Can’t seem to do it with o2, I’ve tried several combinations
You can indirectly. O2 customer needs an o2.co.uk email address then they can arrange for messages to be (selectively) forwarded to their handset as a MMS message.
Thanks
Ah, you need to be an O2 Broadband customer.
Sign in and check out the Email > O2 Email to Mobile page.

A1/Mobilkom Austria:
+43664xxxxxx@text.mobilkom.at
Users first need to send a SMS containing „Info“ to 0664/68001. A confirmation should follow.
Does not work for me – i cannot send an SMS to the Number. I called the A1 Hotline, and they said the Service is not available anymore. So it seems like this does not work with A1…
And this Link is obsolete …

It’s a good idea to sign up a gmail account, like andrewsphone@gmail.com and have it forward all your SMS’s to your [10digitnumber]@xxx.xxx.xxx email listed in the above post.
That way its both easier for people to remember, and it hides your cell # from people you don’t want to have it.
Just go to Settings in GMail and go to Forwarding and set it up there.
I just did it, and it works.
Actually you’re making it much more complicated than you need to. You don’t need a new account because you can just tell your friends to email you at yourgmailusername+phone@gmail.com and then set a filter to forward those to your phone.
That’s actually a brilliant idea and I think I’ll do just that!
I tested out the one from Aruba and it should be “297number@mas.aw” not “297+number@mas.aw”.
In any case… this is great info, much appreciated. I live abroad so this is perfect to communicate with some relatives and friends, although they can’t reply :S
Well I know that former Cingular also uses @mobile.mycingular.com. I can say that with authority because it works for my husband and I use it daily. I’ve not even tried the new AT&T one.
There is a saying here in the south, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” So there you go.
Movicom (Argentina) was acquired by Movistar and to send e-mail: number@sms.movistar.net.ar
Wow, I used to use this 10 years ago before I could get email on my phone.
Does your email ring you to let you know it’s waiting, while you’re not connected? You don’t ever text anyone? The difference between email and SMS are big. This is all about quick messaging without having to log into email and wait for connections. There is NO way my husband is going to check his email several times a day just in case I’m going to send him this quick email message: “Get bread please.”
I hear you on this and so far I don’t know of a way for it to alert me on my phone. (palm680).
I want to use email as I have unlimited data.
But NOT unlimited TXT and everyone in the world..(LOL it seems..) seem to “THINK” I have TXT messaging on my plan.
(hmmm or maybe they dont care…)And I dont so I have to pay for all TXT messages…..
love you
Very sharp idea.
Its great to make use of free facilities like these.
thanks from tony

Hello — I am in Canada, and tried the number@pcs.rogers.com for Rogers cell customers, and it doesn’t work. I got a text message saying, “Bienvenue au service courriel SMS de Rogers. Vous avez du courrier, mais n’etes pas abbonne. Repondez “ouio” pour vous abboner.” — which basically says, “Welcome to the Email SMS service from Rogers. You have mail, but you’re not subscribed. Please reply YES to subscribe.”. What a scam. They don’t even bother to tell you how much the useless service is.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this in Japan over any of the following providers:

Are you sure you’re entering the number correctly? As you can see from the screenshot above I have used this trick for T-Mobile UK number. It worked fine!
Yes, I am. I have tried even with freinds number…is simply does not work… I get the error message with code 505
I want to know the email address for a particular network? how do you find out? I am looking for the network carriers in Algeria

No luck for me either with t-mobile uk

Anyone knows how I could send SMS to Telekom in Serbia?
Thanks in advance for any info.
I would like to know that one myself
I’m interested in both Telekom (aka MTS) and Telenor for Serbia!..
If anybody can help, I would really appreciate it. And just to mention before somebody copies some old information, Mobtel doesn’t exist anymore… It has been replaced by Telenor.
Thanks
plz add id for BSNL Kerala(BSNL INDIA)
All UK providers have block access to this feature….Is there new tips on how to use this service…if not…may be it would be better to shut the whole site down.

You can use the website worldtexting.com to send text messages for free and get replies online via your account. it is all free check it out most of the carriers mentioned and more are there. enjoy

Does anyone know the email address to use for Telstra Australia??
Thanks Aibek, is there anything for Idea cellular?
Any one for Nigeria pls…
works great if you know the other persons server.
If you know how to write a windows batch file you could download sendmail and write a little script to send your message to all of the carriers one-by-one. When they reply, you know their other person’s server.

GET READY FOR SPAM ON YOUR CELL WHEN YOU ENTER A NUMBER TO TEXT
Here’s a tip. Sign up for a new yahoo mail account specifically for sms. I entitled mine simply like sms.name@yahoo.com. Since yahoo mail has push, you basically have the capability of sending sms via email and get notified immediately when there is a response
So far so good.

This is a sweet service and something that I think will become standard as the converging media/communications/lifestyle fields continue to grow.
The email to Boost is NOT SMS – it is MMS. This is an important distinction, because Boost users that have the $1/day plan don’t pay for SMS, but DO pay 25 cents per message for MMS!

You should use mms not sms in order to send a picture via wireless carrier.
how do you do this, forgive me i am not very tech savy,

You simply open your email client (like outlook express) and and there the receivers phone number followed by their carrier as listed on this page. We tried this on auxoo.com and some emails work, some don’t. we are currently looking for a newer list to use…

There’s only one problem when I use this message system. Whoever I send an email (message) to, they can’t seem to be able to hit reply on their phone and write back to me… What I mean is, the reply doesn’t get sent to my email inbox.
Try http://www.infinear.com You can listen to your emails (Yahoo mail only supported currently) Reply to specific mail and compose email to a contact by name. All handsfree without any software installed on the phone You can even browse websites and blogs and have them read out to you on demand when you want it.
Found a link to this post on http://www.fredshead.info . I have used this service with a neighbor friend and it works. At first I told him not to text me back since I can’t read those messages on my phone, but he texted me back a couple weeks ago and I got a copy via email. Love this service! It did not seem to work when I tried texting myself, because my message bounced back.
It’s not working delivery of email fails im trying to send an sms to lebanon please help
can you please tell me if you have a gateway for e-mail to SMS in Liberia, Ghana, and Benin? I am also interested in knowing the gateway for e-mail to SMS for Iwireless in Iowa? Thanks for your help.
Does not work with prepaid Tracfone. I’ve tried twice!
Looking to receive email from my inbox via SMS text. I live in Canada and use Telus… I have unlimited text messaging… how do I go about doing this?
Hmm, I’m wondering if the easiest way to find out if your SMS provider has an email gateway is to text a message to your own email address and see what address it comes from. Shouldn’t that work?
Anyone know if Samsung has a SMS. or Cellco Partnership Dba Verizon Wire? If so can you tell me them? (If they dont have a code because of them being landline then let me know that too. Plz and ty)
what about pakistan
Very helpful! Thanks.
Can anyone Summarise what works for U.K networks please
Didn’t see this gateway on the list.
Cellular South number@csouth1.com
Also, this is a nice site to find out which carrier to use if you only have the number.
http://freesms.1888usa.com/revcell.htm
Anyone know what happened to Teleflip?
It’s easier to use yahoo messenger to text if you have a Yahoo acct. No need to know the carrier of the person you are texting.
here is another website that allows you to send free text messages in USA http://guymix.com
Great service for massive sms
Does nobody know the emails for New Zealand phone numbers? I’ve been searching for like two weeks…
Telecom (New Zealand)
Vodafone (New Zealand)
2° (Two degrees, NZ)
I use this to create ring tones for my friends online and then send them to their phones. It’s a free ring tone and they just pay standard text messaging. They all seem to like it!
Can The Person Ur Txting Txt U Back ?
Yes they can, I’ve been “texting” a person in texas (from New Zealand, that doesn’t matter though) and she’s been texting back for about a month now.
You can even add the person to your contact list.
Don’t ask about pricing though, the person I email has unlimited texts so, I don’t know how much it costs per text to text an email address.
Awesome list.. I use this to confirm accounts.
Im wondering what the gateway is for Hutchinson 3g (H3G) UK?
