FAQs

Email to text message questions

An email to text message service allows you to send SMS messages from your email inbox to a recipient’s phone number. The email is converted into a text and delivered through an SMS gateway, making communication fast and accessible. 

To send an email as a text, you enter the recipient’s phone number followed by their carrier’s SMS gateway domain (e.g., 1234567890@txt.att.net). The message is then routed through the carrier and delivered as a standard SMS. 

Businesses use email to text messaging for time-sensitive communication like appointment reminders, emergency alerts, order updates, and internal team notifications, especially when SMS platforms aren’t integrated into their workflow. 

Yes, but it depends on the mobile carrier and message length. Some carriers may delay or filter messages, and long emails may get truncated. For mission-critical SMS delivery, businesses often prefer dedicated SMS platforms.

Most basic email-to-SMS methods don’t support bulk messaging efficiently. For reliable large-scale delivery, it’s better to use a business-grade SMS platform that integrates email, SMS, and contact management tools. 

No. Recipients receive the message as a normal text and can reply via SMS. Replies can be routed back to your email inbox or a messaging platform, depending on how your service is configured. 

It depends. Basic email-to-text via carrier gateways lacks encryption and is subject to spam filters. For more secure delivery, use an enterprise SMS provider with encryption and compliance features like GDPR. 

Email to text is a lightweight way to send SMS using existing email tools. SMS APIs offer more robust capabilities—like automation, personalization, analytics, and integrations with CRMs or ticketing systems.
