We are using the SMS system as an all call system for an emergency response group we have at work. Does anyone know Cincinnati Bells SMS or if you have a Trac-Fone? Thanks for your help in advance!!
Gavin Roskamp said on November 28, 2008
Also for US Cellular, if you want to send audio files in .mp3 format, picture files in .jpg format, and video files in .3gp format (From what I know it automatically converts videos to that format, I have only tried using .mpeg though. I will report back with more results soon if you want), send the message to phonenumber@mms.uscc.net. Hope this helps!

Cheryl said on April 3, 2009
This is a great site. It’s about time someone posted this info for people. Cell phone co’s don’t tell you this, I know I used to work for one and they didn’t even tell us, lol. prob because they loose out on the updates they charge for. I have Centennial Wireless and their number is xxxxxxxxxx@cwemail.com
So those of us that have a carrier that is local usually luck out when the dropdown lists at sites want you to click on your carrier. I use yahoo alerts by setting my cell phone email as a pager.
you can also send pics (mms) (see Gavin’s post below)from online to your cell @myblue.com for Centennial.
I have unlimited sms so there is no charge for any of the email stuff but my carrier does charge for MMS so you will want to know that before you go crazy downloading screensavers :)

well it’s really nice to send sms through email, how about mms?
Anonymous said on August 3, 2009
How reliable is this service? Does the message *always* get through? Dropped often? Does it depend on the carrier?
I’d LOVE to see a study done on the reliability, speed, and other variables for each carrier.
THANKS!

Love the feature. Does anyone know if it is possible to edit the ‘from’ number as it appears to the recipient so it reflects the sender rather than a generic phone number?

The easiest way to figure out the email of a phone, is to have someone who has a phone on that carrier text your email address =p
It’s both ways, of course.

Desk Jockey Mike said on May 15, 2010
When messages are sent from e-mail accounts (which is what the article is about), my phone shows the e-mail addresses they are sent from.
Messages from Yahoo Messenger (maybe other IM/chat apps) show a generic phone number, and I don’t know any way to change the phone number messages are sent from, other than creating an entry in the contacts stored in the phone. Of course would only work if the Internet service always sent messages from the same one or more numbers.

Does anyone know the sms address to use for sending text & media from PC to Phone & Vice Versa for a Simple Mobile Phone?
770 Cell said on October 11, 2010
Receiving e-mail as an SMS message is something you do via your e-mail system. Set up your e-mail to forward all or select e-mail to your cell address (#########@txt.att.net). I’ve also established a unique GMAIL address that forwards everything to my AT&T cell – in case I ever get a new cell # or carrier. If you get a lot of e-mail with attachments or very wordy e-mails you might want to watch your bill for extra charges. Good luck.

does anyone know the correct address for LCW Wireless
Steve Ferrell said on November 30, 2010
To get ANY address, simply set yourself up as a contact, add your home email address to your contact and send yourself a text to your email address. When it arrives at the destination, you will see the proper address for your carrier.
Maurice Taylor III said on January 15, 2011
Tracfone is the same as at&t:
SMS: (10 digit ph. no.)@txt.att.net
MMS: (10 digit ph. no.)@mms.att.net for picture messages.
