How to text from your email client

[Volund]

Well, the easiest way to do this is if you have outlook or another mail program that you can set to scan for new emails every X# of seconds.

First, you need to know the phone # of the person who you want to text.

For AT+T, send your email to phonenumber@txt.att.net

For Verizon, send to phonenumber@vtext.com

For Sprint, use phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com

For T-Mobile it's phonenumber@tmomail.com

For Alltell it's phonenumber@message.alltel.com

for Boost Mobile it's phonenumber@myboostmobile.com

For Nextel it's phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

For Virgin Mobile it's phonenumber@vmobl.com

There is also an easier way to do this than writing down/memorizing all of those numbers.

The easier way is a free service called teleflip. All you need to do is send the email to phonenumber@teleflip.com , and the free service will automatically route the text to the correct service provider.

NOTE- The person recieving the TXT messages WILL still be charged message fees (based on their plan ofc), don't use this to be a complete asshole and run up someone's bill if they don't have unlimited texting.

Lucky I have unlimited text, free for you ...

Thanks for the guide, +rep for your effort.

Well, if you have unlimited text, it will still be "free" for ya.

This is nice for me though, because I don't have texting at all on my phone.
