Suppose A Text message arrives on your phone while you’re sitting at your desk. Do you really have to peck out the reply on the phone’s tiny keypad? Not if you know the recipient’s phone number and carrier. Just fire up outlook or any other mail client and compose your reply as you would an ordinary e-mail. The trick lies in knowing the proper way to address the message. Foe Example, e-mail sent to phones on the AT&T network must be formatted as phone-number@txt.att.net. To send email via SMS to a Verizone Customer, use phonenumber@vtext.com. On sprint, use phonenumber@messagingsprintpcs.com. And for T-mobile it’s phonenumber@tmomail.com you can find a more complete list of carriers and their text-message addresses at sms411.net.
If you don’t know the recipient’s carrier or can’t remember all those abbreviated addresses, take this shortcut: send your email to phonenumber@teleflip.com the handy, free Teleflip service does the legwork for you, routing your message to the appropriate carrier. Whatever method you use, keep in mind that replies will come to your email inbox, not your cell phone --which can be a good thing if you are spending the day working at your desk anyhow.
