How to send a text message to your cell phone from your email
Step 1: The concept
Sending a text message to your cell phone is very easy and only requires you to send an email to your 10 digit phone number followed by the @ symbol followed by the text messaging domain of your wireless provider.
For example: Verizon uses "vtext.com" as their text messaging domain and since my cell phone number is 8581234567, to send a message to my cell phone I would fire up my favorite email client and send a message to 8581234567@vtext.com
If you're not with Verizon, here is a list of the text messaging addresses for several common US wireless providers:
Verizon:
10digitphonenumber@vtext.com
AT&T:
10digitphonenumber@mobile.att.net
Sprint:
10digitphonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile:
10digitphonenumber@tmomail.net
Nextel:
10digitphonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
Cingular:
10digitphonenumber@mobile.mycingular.com
Virgin Mobile:
10digitphonenumber@vmobl.com
