How to Send an Email as a Text to a Cell Phone

Email to Text - www.OneCoolTip.com
Did you know you can send an email to a cell phone as a text?

Maybe you're at your PC and just want to send a quick text without retyping on your phone.

To send an email as a text, you'll need to know the phone number of the recipient and which mobile carrier is used.  For example, AT&T, Verizon or Sprint.

Listed below are the formats for each major carrier.

As an example, to send an email as a text to an AT&T recipient, you'd address your email to the 10DigitPhoneNumber@txt.att.net.  It would look like this 1234567890@txt.att.net  Of course, replace the 10 digit phone number with the phone number of your recipient.


Alltel
PlainText:  10DigitPhoneNumber@message.alltel.com
Picture or Video: 10DigitPhoneNumber@sms.alltel.com

AT&T
Plain Text: 10DigitPhoneNumber@txt.att.net
Picture or Video: 10DigitPhoneNumber@mms.att.net

Boost Mobile
10DigitPhoneNumber@myboostmobile.com

Sprint
10DigitPhoneNumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com

T-Mobile
No longer supported by T-Mobile but may work with some subscribers:
10DigitPhoneNumber@tmomail.net

US Cellular
10DigitPhoneNumber@email.uscc.net

Verizon
10DigitPhoneNumber@vtext.com

Virgin Mobile

10DigitPhoneNumber@vmobl.com

This tried and true method still works.  Tho it is quickly being replaced by dedicated chat and messaging apps such as SnapChat, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp that bypass the carriers texting service all together.

  • Log into your Gmail account.
  • Click the "gear" Setting icon in the upper right-hand corner.
  • Select "Settings".
  • Select "general" tab if not already.
  • About half-way down, look for the "Undo Send" option.  
  • Click the check box to "Enable Undo Send".
  • Click the dropdown box to choose 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.
  • Scroll tot he bottom of the page and click the "Save Changes" button.
When you next send an email, a message will appear that says "Your message has been sent.  Undo.".  Click the Undo option to unsend the message.  Your message will not be sent.  You can edit or close the message and return it to your draft folder.

That's it!  Save yourself some grief by turn this new feature on.
