Sending SMS through email is very, very easy. If you can be reminded through email, you can now be reminded through SMS.

I have email reminders sent to me for everything. If you know the correct email address, you can also send these messages to your cellular phone. Here are the email addresses for the 6 most popular cellular phone carriers:

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

where phonenumber = your 10 digit phone number

SMS through email for US Cellular, SunCom, Powertel, AT&T, Metro PCS and Alltel are available here.

You don't know offhand how to set the MWI (message waiting) indicator through email-sms gateways do you? I would like to send an email SMS that lights up the MWI and leaves a callback #, not just lights up the "SMS waiting" indicator. I am fairly confident this can be done, since the various per-msg SMS services claim to be able to do it.

I'm sure it's just some kind of header but that's a pretty broad answer. :-)

Found this on t-mobile.de allowing sms to be sent from email:

<Full Number including

Example: 0176563684@t-mobile-sms.de will send an SMS to 0-176-563684.

Obviously only works for German T-Mobile (D1) handys!

......
......
......

:evil: Can't get it to work on my prepaid phone :evil:

Anyhow, the directions tell you how to activate it, but it's in German.

Figured out you need to get to the activation by going thru these menu options:

Special / Mail&Fax / E-Mail mit SMS / Empfang / freigeben / <type the date and hit OK> / <type the month and hit OK> / Abbrechen

Should be activated, but it displayed a new error I've never seen on my phone before ("BARRED"), then the sim card tells me "Netzwerkproblem!" Maybe it's because I have no minutes on it :idea:

Note I have a phone I originally purchased with a T-Mobile USA contract (Samsung X105) and have used all over the world without issues... Well, roaming on Cell One in Montana sucked... but everywhere in Kuwait had great service!

Oh, and here's a bunch more sms via email addresses!

Hi! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on the following question:

Most smtp to sms follows a format like phonenumber@carrierwebsite.com

(1234567890@tmomail.net)

Ufone in Pakistan has the following smtp gateway:

Ufone: 0333@Ufone.com

Where do I insert a destination phone number if I want to send a text message to a Ufone customer via email? I am confused since “0333″ seems to replace the destination phone number.

Thanks for your help.

- Danny

Although very few free email to SMS gateways exist in europe, and certainly none in the UK, you can try using free SMS websites instead, I've found a list of them here http://www.gotoeuro.net

You can finally send a pic message to an AT&T phone via email. What I do is keep the photo small, a good utility is the microsoft image resizer power toy, i do it at Windows CD size 320x240 or smaller depending on the phone. I'm not sure if it still trounces messages too long. Hope this helps

For SMS its phonenumber@txt.att.net

For MMS its phonenumber@mms.att.net
