Computer question

[rrlund]

If you have somebody's smart phone number and not their email address, is there a way to send them a text from your computer? I don't have a smart phone and wondered if there was a way to send a picture.

Maybe something for a computer geek to invent if it doesn't exist.

Yes there is. Have had a few people email/text me. I know how to go from phone to email, but not email to text.

I send pictures to phones using my computer email. Example I have t-mobile so I send to [email protected] (1 plus 10 digit number).
Other carriers will have their own @company. If the person with the phone can send your email a text, you should be able to find the info for @.

Yes, there is do a google search for wireless sreves or using email to send a test message. Basically you type in their phone [email protected].

Enter the domain for the service you are texting. You will need to know the recipient's carrier. Add the domain to the end of the address. For example, if the number in the previous step was on AT&T, the address would be: [email protected].

Some common carrier gateways include:[1]
AT&T: [email protected] for a normal text message (SMS), or [email protected] for a multimedia message (MMS)
Verizon: [email protected] for both SMS and MMS messages
Sprint PCS: [email protected] for both SMS and MMS messages
T-Mobile: [email protected] for both SMS and MMS messages
Virgin Mobile: [email protected] for both SMS and MMS messages
If you are sending an image, use the MMS address if applicable.
If the carrier you want isn't listed above, check their support site.

Smart phones can have Email as well, and as mentioned, call them and give them your Email address and get theirs. Jim

Have them send an email to you via text messaging. You should be able to tell the address that sent the email and then you can send to that address. It will be something like [email protected]. that would be Verizon Wireless for example.

I think you need to know who their wireless carrier is.
Email to SMS addresses
