I believe this is carrier dependent, but you might want to check 
T-Mobile's web site.

I just sent a text to my work phone which is on AT and another to my
personal phone which is on Consumer Cellular, from Outlook 2016 on my
Windows 10 computer, but I suspect this will work with other versions
of Windows.
I formatted the to field asiphonenum...@text.att.ent
<mailto:iphonenum...@text.att.ent>and put text in the subject so
Outlook wouldn’t flag it as not having a subject, then wrote some text
in the body of the Email and hit send.
Poof, I received the text message on my work iPhone.  Then, I did the
same with my personal phone.
Very slick if you don’t want to go and grab your iPhone.

How To Send SMS Messages From Windows 10 Computer to a Phone
Method 1 – Send Messages Through Email
Probably the simplest way to send messages from your computer to a
cell phone is through the email. To do so, just follow these instructions:
1.Open Windows 10 Mail App
2.Click on New Mail
3.Now just enter the number you want to send the text message to and
enter the code of your provider. Here are message codes of some
popular providers:
oAlltel: @message.alltel.com <http://message.alltel.com/>(or
@mms.alltelwireless.com <http://mms.alltelwireless.com/>for picture
messages)
oAT: @text.att.net <http://text.att.net/>
oSprint: @messaging.sprintpcs.com <http://messaging.sprintpcs.com/>
oT-Mobile: @tmomail.net <http://tmomail.net/>
oVerizon: @vtext.com <http://vtext.com/>(or @vzwpix.com
<http://vzwpix.com/>for photos and video)
<http://wind8apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/sms-message-from-windows-10-e1443085211960.png>
4.Write the message as a normal email and just hit Send
When your friend replies to your text message, you’ll also get it in
your Mail inbox.
Method 2 – Send Message From A Carrier’s website
A lot of mobile carriers offer you an option to send free SMS messages
from your computer for free. Depending on the carrier, you’ll be able
to send text messages to other users of that carrier’s services, or
even users of other networks. So just go to your carrier’s website,
log into your account, find the option for texting, and send the text
message from your computer.

2016-01-23 Thread Richard Turner 
Thanks Alan for sharing this.

Much better than the web site I found.

If you want, you could add that Consumer Cellular uses the same code as AT, 
at least for SMS.  I haven’t tested MMS but it is very likely to also be the 
same.

Text messages on a lap top?

 

Steve,

 

Below  my signature is a guide I wrote almost two years ago about sending text 
messages with your email client on a standalone computer. How to do this is 
mainly a function of the mobile service provider you're sending to and their 
rules. I' believe most of the information is still accurate but would welcome 
any comments or corrections if someone takes issue to anything stated.

 

Alan Lemly

 

It is possible to send text messages using your email client on your computer. 
The messages can be plain text messages also known as SMS which stands for 
Short Message Service. SMS messages are usually limited to 160 characters when 
sent using a mobile device but might be limited to 140 characters when sent via 
a computer's email client. This also might depend on the recipient's service 
provider but I have not fully researched the limitation.

 

Messages with pictures or without limitation on length can also be sent via a 
computer's email client. These messages are called iMessages in the iOS world 
or mms messages in general. MMS stands for Multimedia Message Service. 
Wikipedia has a good article explaining MMS at this link:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Messaging_Service

 

This page has a good discussion of MMS and SMS with a table that succinctly 
compares them:

 

http://www.diffen.com/difference/MMS_vs_SMS

 

The format of the sent to address governs which type of message is sent and 
varies for each provider. The format begins with the 10-digit mobile phone 
number of the recipient followed by the @ sign for all providers. What follows 
the @ sign varies depending on the message format and the provider. Those are 
provided below for the four major US mobile service providers.

 

AT

 

SMS email address: 10-digitmobilenum...@txt.att.net

T-Mobile is the only provider of those listed above that uses the same address 
for SMS and MMS messages. Apparently, its servers analyze the message and 
format it accordingly on receipt.

RE: Text messages on a lap top?

2016-01-23 Thread Richard Turner 
I found this on a web site, I have no idea if it works.

How To Send SMS Messages From Windows 10 Computer to a Phone

Method 1 – Send Messages Through Email

Probably the simplest way to send messages from your computer to a cell phone 
is through the email. To do so, just follow these instructions:

1.  Open Windows 10 Mail App

2.  Click on New Mail

3.  Now just enter the number you want to send the text message to and 
enter the code of your provider. Here are message codes of some popular 
providers: 

oAlltel: @message.alltel.com (or @mms.alltelwireless.com for picture 
messages)

oAT: @text.att.net

oSprint: @messaging.sprintpcs.com

oT-Mobile: @tmomail.net

oVerizon: @vtext.com (or @vzwpix.com for photos and video)  
<http://wind8apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/sms-message-from-windows-10-e1443085211960.png>
 

4.  Write the message as a normal email and just hit Send

When your friend replies to your text message, you’ll also get it in your Mail 
inbox.

Method 2 – Send Message From A Carrier’s website

A lot of mobile carriers offer you an option to send free SMS messages from 
your computer for free. Depending on the carrier, you’ll be able to send text 
messages to other users of that carrier’s services, or even users of other 
networks. So just go to your carrier’s website, log into your account, find the 
option for texting, and send the text message from your computer.
