Sending E-mail as a Text Message To Your Cell Phone

If you are going out of town for the holiday weekend and need to receive your e-mails but don’t have the ability on your cell phone, it’s a simple fix.
If you are using Google’s Gmail, Google Apps, or any e-mail client just set up a forward rule to forward all e-mails that come in to your e-mail address to your cell phone number with the carriers information.
Here are some of the main carriers where the x’s are that is where your 10 digit phone number needs to go:
Alltel
xxxxxxxxxx@message.alltel.com

AT&T Wireless
xxxxxxxxxx@mmode.com

Boost Mobile
xxxxxxxxxx@myboostmobile.com

Cingular
xxxxxxxxxx@mobile.mycingular.com OR
xxxxxxxxxx@cingularme.com

Nextel
xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.nextel.com

Sprint PCS
xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.sprintpcs.com

T-Mobile
xxxxxxxxxx@tmomail.net

Verizon
xxxxxxxxxx@vtext.com

Virgin Mobile USA
xxxxxxxxxx@vmobl.com

Some charges may apply from your cell phone carrier so be sure to call and ask them. Also note that you can only receive 160 characters in your text messages so if it is longer you will not get to view the whole e-mail. Ejoy your holiday weekend and this little tip!

    Really good and timely info for new real estate agents that have the tech spirit…also, some experienced agents that “get it” when it comes to being on their game! More important now than ever to be notified when your clients are out of sight!
    Thanks!
