Posted on: March 14th, 2010 by Mk

email-smsIt is very easy to send a short email to your friends or family members and have it delivered to their cell phones as SMS (text messages). All you need to know is the service provider of the receiving person.

Once you know the carrier (cell phone company) of your recipient, simply use the carrier-specific email address, pick one from the list below, in the format of yourphonenumber@carrier-specific-email.com/.net to send a short email which gets delivered as a text message.

For example if you are sending an SMS to a T-Mobile number 2141121100 in the United States, you need to address your email to 2141121100@tmomail.net.
