How to Send Emails to Phone Numbers

Send an email from your email account to a cell phone.

With the wide use of text messages, people can send more than a short text from computer or phone to phone. Today emails can also be sent from your email account to a customer on any major cell phone network. Before sending an email, you must know the recipient's service provider and his telephone number, as well as the email address associated with each provider.

Instructions

1. Log in to your email account using your user name and password. Open a new email message by clicking "Compose" or "New Message."

2. Type the 10-digit cell phone number plus "@" plus the cell provider email (listed in Tips) in the "to" field. For example, use the following templates for these cell phone companies:

   Verizon Wireless: cell [e-mail]

   AT&T: cell [e-mail]

   Cingular: cell [e-mail]

   Nextel: cell [e-mail]

   T-Mobile: cell [e-mail]

   Sprint: cell [e-mail]

   Tracfone: cell [e-mail]

3. Type the message of the email in the body and "Send" when complete.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep in mind the length of your email. You do not want to swamp someone's text message inbox with hundreds of pages of text. Keep the message simple and to the point.
