Outlook Tip: Send an Email to SMS Text Message

by | Apr 23, 2015 | Security

Text message is an informal way to get a message to someone quickly. Many people don’t know this but you can easily send TXT messages to your colleagues through Outlook email. What the recipient will see is your full name the Subject and the Message Body including any signature you may have.

To get this done successfully all you really need to know is the recipient’s carrier and their cell number. Each carrier uses a different domain address to send. Below explains the different carrier domains. We will use the example number of 718-555-4391. For each carrier type the following in the To: field of Outlook to send the email to Text.

Verizon – 7185554391@vtext.com

AT&T – 7185554391@txt.att.net

T-Mobile – 7185554391@tmomail.net

Sprint – 7185554391@messaging.spintpcs.com

As CEO of Rekall Technologies, I’ve been helping small business owners simplify their technology since 2011. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how IT becomes frustrating, time-consuming, and a constant distraction from running a business. That experience is what drove me to build Rekall differently. I didn’t want clients adjusting their businesses to fit their IT—I built services that adapt to how real businesses actually operate. My philosophy is simple: technology should be secure, stable, and effectively invisible. When IT is done right, it stays out of the way and gives you the freedom to focus on your clients, your team, and growing your business with confidence.
