I'm told that every device supporting SMS has an email address that can receive txt messages. Something like : [email protected]
I'm on Tmobile, and would like to know that email. Could a guru lead me in the right direction?

I myself used T-mobile Mobile email. Basically this is a service that when people email your address you receive it as a text message. From my experience of this service you are charged 10p for every text received and this is not part of any allowances you may have. It usually only send you one sms of the first few words from the email.
I assume this is what you mean, see the link below for official details of the service...

In my opinion its to be used wisely and the address given to only inportant people who cant text you via a mobile phone.
Thank you for your reply. Sadly this does not seem to work very well. I had it working yesterday but today no matter how many emails I sent my phone never receives the SMS.
This is really disapointing as I'm using it to monitor the status of servers.
hi.
not familiar with t-mobile but I guess all operators are somewhat similar.
I use vodafone and the email address is connected to a standard mailbox which is reachable through a web browser. in order for the incomming mails to generate a sms I had to activate it in the same portal, I was also able to create rules on which mail that should be forwarded as an sms.
hope this helped.

Try something like this:
[email protected]

nope, no luck, it's very strange, that email to sms feature was working yesterday night, and today nothing.
Get the web'n'walk add-on, an account with mail2web and the AKU2 rom to enable push email. Then just email your mail2web address instead of your phone number, if a server has a problem then remotely administer it from your MDA PRO using terminal services.
Thanks for all the responses so far. I thought I'd give you a small update. Yesterday I was testing this further. My phone was receiving SMSes from other networks immediately, but none of the [email protected] made it through.
Then this morning, I received 28 text messages in one go. All at the same time.
Obviously the routing they use for the [email protected] mobile email option is cheap and unreliable.
So I've bought a few credits of an email2sms gateway, will let you know if that performs better.
Shuflie, regarding the AKU2 account, I got push email from 4smartphone - but I was under the impression that required the GPRS/3G connection to be always on on the phone? Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Right here's the follow up as promised.
I ended up signing for sms2email. I didn't know what to expect but it turns out to be very reliable. They deliver sms super super fast, which is what I need for server monitoring.
Seems convenient, and you can use distribution lists for SMSs, meaning you don't have to create dozen of account in your monitoring software just for the purpose of ringing everyone. Apparently you can also SMS BT lines, which in turn will read the message text-to-speech if the recipient doesn't have an SMS-compatible handset.
When I receive some SMS messages, a contact is added at the end od the message. Something like this:
Will see you tomorrow then. <James/M>
Where the message is 'Will see you tomorrow then.' I don't know why the <James/M> comes on.
Could it be because I am using PI2007?
Anyone knows how to overcome this problem?
same here...though it has occured only once, that too when i got a msg from my service provider!!!
and i'm using PI2007 to, might be a connection there
i've got the xda exec on o2, no rom updates or anything, does any1 else get the problem that sometimes you dont recieve txt messages people send or people dont get the ones you send? and way i could sort this out
Hi guys,
I've been having issues with sending text messages in the past few days, and it has come on since being at my parents. At first I thought it might have been a problem in the local area, but today I travelled out of the area and my texts aren't getting through still.
I have the delivery report turned on, and each time i send a message that is greater than 160 characters, it comes back saying "The message sent to <recipientname> is not reachable". I've done a bit of googling but I haven't found anything useful. I only really text my girlfriend and we quite often send messages that are 160 characters in length. \
Any ideas what a cause may be? I will be trying to contact the mobile operator (T-Mobile) but I want to be sure it isn't the phone being silly.
Much appreciated if you guys can help
could be a simple hangup between area antennas.
Have you done a soft reset ? If yes, simply run the com wizard again and it should work.
A soft reset has done the trick, thanks
I am having a similar issue except that any text message above 159 characters is not received by one particular person I send it to. I am using my HD2 on O2 contract and the person I am texting is using an LG 910 on Virgin Mobile PAYG. They can send me long text messages fine but they just can't receive them from me.
Also, other people using different phones on different networks can receive long text messages ok from me. Also the person I am texting can receive long text messages from other people.
If I send a long text message with the *0# sequence to request an SMS delivery notification I get a confirmation back saying it was delivered but the person I sent it to never receives the text.
I am wondering if this is some compatibility issue between the HD2 SMS messaging software and the LG 910 phone. Its all very annoying!
Also a soft reset doesn't make any difference either.
Many thanks,
Richard.
i dont know what is going on but my text messages are not being sent. i can receive messages but i cant send them. i dont know what is going on..any ideas.
i am using nokser build 23566.5.5.0. never had this problem before
i think its just a fault with windows, i have the same thing, i find texts get sent hours after i pressed send, and texts don't always get to me in time.
must have something to do with the radio
