How to Send Text Messages as E-Mail to Your Cell Phone ?Printable


A Member can Opt-In to have Subscription Lists/Mail texted to their cell phone. This is Opt-In because automatic generation of text messages violates good website protocol.


How to Properly Configure the EMail Address

The Member must first create the appropriate EMail address in their User Profile which must be properly configured for their particular Cell Phone Provider.

To properly configure the EMail address, type the 10 digit cell phone # and then add the applicable Cell Providers routing information into the appropriate email address block using the appropriate format:
- Example 3601234567@messaging.sprintpcs.com for a Sprint customer.

Below are the proper configurations for several of the major Cell Phone providers:

  • AT&T
    phonenumber@txt.att.net
  • Cingular
    phonenumber@cingularme.com
  • Nextel
    phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
  • Sprint
    phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
  • T-Mobile
    phonenumber@tmomail.net
  • Verizon
    phonenumber@vtext.com
  • Virgin Mobile (#)
    phonenumber@vmobl.com


Sample in User Profile - EMail Tab

Below is an example showing EMail Address #4 configured to send a Text Message to A Sprint Cell Phone and the Members Mail is set to be routed to:
- Mail
- Email address #4 - as a Text Message


Important Things to NOTE About Sending Text Messages

  • Text Messages are typically not Free.
    Costs associated with receipt of Text Messages are the responsibility of the Member and not District IV.
  • Text Messages are Severly Limited in Length.
    NSYSA Subscription List Messages include the Name of the Subscription List, the Subject and then whatever remaining Message Text will fit upto the Character Limit for the Text Message. Therefore, while you should receive enough information to alert you to something important, it most likely will only be a partial message. To ensure you get the entire message, you will need to Log On to the NSYSA website.
