SMS through E-Mail: Cingular, Nextel, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Virgin Mobile
Contributed by David Kirk 
Tagged: Instant messaging Sending SMS through email is very easy. The key is knowing the correct email format to use. Using this information you can send text messages to the major mobile providers.
Sending text messages through email is free for the sender. The receiver will pay his or her normal messaging charge. Often I use these email to SMS techniques to send alerts from my servers to my mobile devices if something goes wrong.
I try to double check and update these frequently. Several mobile providers have recently combined. Nextel is now part of Sprint, and Cingular has been purchased by AT&T. As the services fold into one another, the email addresses will eventually combine.
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.
These email addresses will work from any typical email client. Subject lines are often truncated or completely ignored. Remember that true SMS messages will be limited to 160 characters.
As updates and questions have occurred over the year, people have discussed issues in the comments below.

Adam said on November 5, 2008
That “pix” within the address, to me, makes it as if that’s the “multimedia” address to be used, if one is sending images/media embedded e-mails :)
Adam said on November 5, 2008
I’ve tried sending pix through e-mail (as attachments, not embedded HTML code though) using those addresses without any luck.
My friend said he couldn’t see any pic, unless he just didn’t know how to “open” it….? Not too sure :P

Gavin Roskamp said on November 28, 2008
Hey if you know how to send picture messages to your phone (US Cellular is phonenumber@mms.uscc.net) and your phone is portrait (like 240×320) then all you have to do is google image search for iPhone wallpapers and you can send them straight to your phone. They will fill the whole screen and look wonderful on it!
P.S. The LG Rumor (UX 260 on US Cellular) is a portrait mode phone, just google image search the LG Rumor and look for a picture with the keyboard closed. The correct screen shape for the pictures listed above is the shape of that screen. If you have a screen that is wider than tall, it is most likely 320×240. look for computer wallpapers for that kind.

0333 probably is the destination phone number. think about those game shows you see when they ask you to vote they’ll say “send a text with your vote to 5574″ or something. It’s just short number specifically for texting. Try just replacing it with a standard 10-digit and see what you get :)

annomyous said on April 22, 2009
try 411.com and do a reverse phone number look up. Ir it is a cell, it probably will not tell you who it is, but it should show their carrier. If they have changed carriers and taken their number with them, there is a possiblity the carrier has changed. GL!

Try sending an email to your phone using, yourphonenumber@ufone.com. That would be my best bet… Otherwise, try calling customer service and asking them what the proper format it, or for that matter, what your phone’s email address is.
Anonymous said on August 15, 2009
Personally, I have, on many occasions, suffered very long delays sending messages to other carriers. I have been with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. 99.9% of the time, the messages get through without a hitch. But there are some that either have long delays(several hours), or don’t go through at all. It seems that some carriers conflict with each other sometimes. I have seen it where AT&T sends to Sprint just fine, but takes 3 hours for a message to get through to T-Mobile. I don’t think there is anything, other than getting everyone you know and even those you don’t know to switch over to the network you are using. Like I said, though, in my experience, 99.9% of all messages get through all the time. Just every once in a while there is a spell where other networks have a delay, or total black out. Sending a message on the same network as mine, there has never been a problem.

Actually, phonenumber@vzwpix.com is correct, Nitty. However, that email address, as Adam stated, is for multimedia (pics, sounds, videos). I’ve never used the vtext.net one, but I assume that’s for plain text messages and not multimedia. Both of you are correct, but Nitty was half wrong.

(160 characters maximum, including Subject line if any)
Send as Text only; messages with HTML/Rich text formatting get rejected.

The article seemed to be about using e-mail to send text messages to cell phones, not texting from a phone on one service to a phone on another service, but after reading through these comments, I’m not sure I’m remembering correctly.
