Some cell phones cannot receive MMSs, even when sent from email. If you are using the correct gateway and still have having trouble getting a message through, it’s possible that the phone you’re trying to contact does not accept MMS messages.
AT&T: number@txt. att. net[2] X Research source for a normal text message (SMS), or number@mms. att. net[3] X Research source for a multimedia message (MMS) Verizon: number@vtext. com[4] X Research source for both SMS and MMS messages Sprint PCS: number@messaging. sprintpcs. com for both SMS and MMS messages T-Mobile: number@tmomail. net for both SMS and MMS messages Virgin Mobile: number@vmobl. com for both SMS and MMS messages These gateways change periodically and are not always published for non-subscribers. If you don’t know the phone number’s carrier, you’ll need to ask the recipient or use a carrier look-up service.
Texts that exceed the character limit will be broken up into multiple messages. While your emails will be free, the recipient will be charged per message (unless they have unlimited texting). Images and videos will automatically be sent as an MMS message.
The recipient will be able to see the email address you used to send the message. You can find your text again in your email’s Sent folder. Depending on your service, Wi-Fi, or carrier, your text may take longer than 30 seconds to send.
