Send Text Messages to Email
It baffles me how few people realize you can send a text message from your cell phone directly to your email address. Instead of typing in a phone number, just enter the email address. I use this nifty little feature all the time to send myself reminders or to get photos off of my phone. In the address book on my phone I have contacts specifically created for Flickr, Gmail, my SVSU email, and maybe a few others.
Verizon even lets you send something from an email address directly to your phone using vzwpix.com. The service creates an email address of xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com where you can send the email to. Their service then converts it and sends it on to your phone as a text message. I don’t know if other cell phone service providers have something similar, but I’d imagine they would. If you know of something, leave a comment.
Check this table out for other cell phone companies. You can also use AOL instant messenger to send SMS messages. Just add a buddy in the format “+1″ then the 10 digit phone number (+19895555555). Kinda neat…
Very sweet!
Good find man, ive been looking for something like this for a longgg time

need to know how to send photos from my email to my cell phone
Does anyone know if it is possible to have incoming texts also be sent automatically to an email address as well?
To preserve only a select few messages (and avoid the hassles of software and cables), check out Treasuremytext. This free Web service archives and manages all messages forwarded from your phone. Later, you can visit the Treasuremytext site to review your messages, add notes and organize them in custom folders.
Ok, I know this is common knowledge. But my current cell phone (LG CG225) wont let me put my email address when sending text messages. It doesn’t make any sense because I can send messages to my phone from my Email and REPLY to them! But I can’t email from my phone. I’m about to search through the user guide, but if any one has any solutions let me know!
Thanks
