How to Send a Text to a Cingular Phone From Email
Text messages can be sent to a Cingular phone from a computer by using your email account. It costs you nothing to send an email to a Cingular phone and the person can even respond to your emails. These responses will appear inside of your email's inbox. Due to Cingular merging with AT&T Wireless in 2007, there are two different email addresses for Cingular phones. Which address you use will depend on the person you are messaging.
