SMS isn’t just for sending text messages from one phone to another — it’s also a great way to get email messages on your phone.
Yes, you can get email on your phone! All you need to know is your cell phone’s email address.
Most carriers have “SMS gateways” which take email messages from the Internet and deliver them to their customers’ cell phones as SMS text messages. The trick is that you need to know what carrier the recipient’s phone is on — it’s not enough to know their phone number. That’s because the carrier determines what the email address of the receiving phone is going to be. For example, Cingular phones’ address are all “something@cingularme.com” while Verizon phones are “something@vtext.com.”
Sound complicated? It’s not. All you really need to do is find your carrier in the list below, and then use the pattern shown there to figure out your email address. If you want to send email to a friend’s phone, just ask them which carrier they use, and off you go!
(Note: For each carrier, I’ve included a link to a page with more detailed information on how SMS works with that carrier, how much it costs, and where you can find more information. In the list below, just click any carrier’s highlighted name to find out more.)

does anyonee know the SMS forr straight talk mobile (what they offer at walmart) ?
I am trying to find a way of sending an email to my mobiel im with vodafone ireland
Teleflip didn't work for me last evening.
how about fro straight talk phones by tracfones
Great resource but i am trying to send an international text from a Tracfone to a Vodafone and i keep getting an SMS Restriction 45 code. Does anyone know a way around this? I tried sending it by e-mail but that also does not work
THIS WAS A HUGE HELP
Too bad teleflip got shut down. It was one of the most innovative ideas when it launched. Unfortunately spammers ruined it for everyone.
Thanks so much, this is great considering I'm stuck in an airport, during a snow storm and I forgot my cell at home. I can still keep family and my husband informed, quicker than email!
How would I send a text & pic attachment from my email to my Tracphone? You can send me a email if you like:doggirl3@webtv.net

01144 077xxxxxxxxxx@vodafone.net
this is not working any help thanks
I just learned that if I want to receive photo's/images from my email to my phone, I have to use a different address for my phone and send the image as an attachment, which will probably be the address I will use for all messages sent from email to my phone, with or without images.
exmp…
Just a text message…
your.number@message.alltel.com With a photo/image….
your.number@mms.alltel.net
