It is advisable to strip out any of these before hitting forward to make sure the email is forwarded properly and not corrupted on the journey. If the email contains HTML, hyperlinks, images, video, audio or other rich media, this may not work. Some carriers have relaxed the maximum character limit for SMS while some have not. Make sure the email content falls within the carrier’s maximum character limit for SMS.Enter the phone number and the address in the To section.Open the email in your client and select Forward.To forward an email as an SMS, you will need to know the email address your carrier uses for this feature.

You can forward an email directly to a cell number, copy the email into an SMS or you can use a desktop mobile app to do the same. I imagine that it matters what the cell phone service carrier is and what the land line carrier service is.If you don’t happen to have an email to SMS gateway to hand, you can still forward an email to SMS. In the UK you can send SMS to most landlines and it will be read out to the recipient. You have to reply to that text message for Verizon to complete the conversion/transaction. If one mistakenly tries to send a text message to a contact's land line (rather than their cell phone) Verizon almost immediately contacts the the sending phone with a text message, offering to convert the text message to voice.for 25 cents. I have Verizon wireless and it definitely supports this. If you have never received one of these, I must tell you, they are creepy and pretty funny. I have sent it to cable company landlines, verizon landlines, even a VOIP line, and it announces the text message. *Not* something I would have wanted random people to hear if they picked up the phone. I thought it was a cell phone number not a landline. It is supposed to receive confirmation before it sends and mine is through sprint and didn't. now if only they would stop sending them. I can't understand them at all, and they will only repeat it once so doesn't really help me at all. I'm not calling back because I don't know who sent it in the first place. Creepy and a waste of time for the sender. I received one of these, did not recognize the phone number and they only stated the message once. How can I be sure that the person I sent the message to got the message. The message I sent also appears in my sent box. When I send the message, a little box pops up with a check mark in it and it says: "sent." I have sent several text messages from my cell phone to a landline from which I have been blocked. What happens with this if it's texted to a landline? Does it go through? Display? Stop entirely? In the UK an SMS can be formatted to display 'from' text (ex: from: John_Doe) on a mobile. Either it's a message from someone's "lover," or it's "for your eyes only" information to the CEO.Įither way, it's all because the operators want to transform texts sent to the wrong destination at 25 cents a pop. If this call then is for some reason not answered by the person it is meant for, the "call" might very well end up delivered and having the message content played to the staff at the switchboard. This "operator service" generates a regular call aimed at your pbx out of this sms. When the text comes through saying 'message sent,' does this mean they've actually heard it or that it's just gone through and is waiting to be heard?Ĭareful all of you guys out there running a PBX! Since I never got a response or a call back, I just assumed that the words were lost in space! I know that I have accidentally sent texts to landline numbers before, but I noticed this after it was too late. Wow, I always thought that landline phone numbers were somehow barred from receiving text messages. I received a text message on my cell phone from a number that’s listed as a landline on reverse look up. Had one of these today, but didn't get the number it was sent from.how Han I find out who it was?
