Each carrier like Verizon, AT&T, etc., has a definite email gateway that you must have to dig in so as to email a text message. If you ignorant about the person’s carrier, you may enter their 10 digit phone number into a carrier lookup system like CarrierLookup or FoneFinder.
Put the phone number in the “To” field of the email
Ensure entering the full 10-digit number, which is followed by the definite carrier gateway address. Here is a list of few of the most common carrier gateways:
| Company | Text message SMS | Multimedia message MMS |
| AT&T | number@txt.att.net | number@mms.att.net |
| Verizon | number@vtext.com | number@vtext.com |

Enter your text in the body of the email
You may have to include a subject, technically. By doing this, it will definitely take away from the body of the text because mostly the text messages have a 160-character limit. Texts that are greater than the character limit are broken up into multiple messages. You may have your emails for free, but the recipient will be charged per message unless they have unlimited texting. You may upload an image or short video to the email in case you urge to send it as an MMS.
Send the text
Tap on the send button similar to the case when you normally would do it for sending an email. The recipient approximately receive the text in about 30 seconds, and will have it on user’s phone as a normal text message. They will respond to it as they have been responding to any other text message.
Open the response
To receive a reply, it will be again sent to the email account from where you originally emailed the text. Although unlike a normal text or email message, it will be emailed as a text file attached with a blank message. Just tap to open the attachment, or you may save the email to the desktop and open it with a text reader or word processor.
