How To Send An Email from a Computer To a Cellphone!
Have you ever had the urgent need to send a quick text message or an email to a family member, colleague, or friend? Did you know that you can send messages to them for free? Well you can. Here’s what you need to know to be able to send emails quickly and easily:
- The Cellphone Number
- The Carrier They’re Using
- Whether the recipient gets charged for incoming text messages.
- The domain of the Carriers email service
Once you know all the required information all you need to do is compose a new email message except you don’t use a regular email address. Instead you implement the phone number you wish to message. An example would be “1234567890@tmomail.net”(note: If you don’t know your cellphone carriers email domain we have a list at the bottom of this post).
Once you’ve completed your message click “Send”. If it doesn’t work check the phone number, and if that fails to fix the problem contact your service provider. Below there is a list of potential cellphone company gateway domains from MakeUseOf.com.
Note: If you cannot find your carrier below try these websites:
