How to Send Gmail to a Phone

Emails can be sent as text messages.

Gmail can reach cellphones, but only if the user possess a few facts ahead of time. The sender must know the intended recipient's phone number, their cell service provider, and the cell server's specialized domain for email. The sender must create an email address out of those components, and the resulting message will be received as if it were a text message.

Instructions

1. Create a new message.

2. Look up the domain names for the number you're trying to email. According to the Google Tutor, those are:

   Verizon:

   @vtext.com

   AT&T:

   @mobile.att.net

   Sprint:

   @messaging.sprintpcs.com

   T-Mobile:

   @tmomail.net

   Nextel:

   @messaging.nextel.com

   Cingular:

   @mobile.mycingular.com

   Virgin Mobile:

   Alltel:

   @alltelmessage.com

   CellularOne:

   @mobile.celloneusa.com

   Omnipoint:

   @omnipointpcs.com

   Qwest:

   @qwestmp.com

3. Type the 10-digit phone number in the "To" field, and create the rest of the email address: Example: [e-mail].

4. Write your email.

5. Click send.
