Setting up Email to SMS

Cheetah24 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 09:59:15 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to send email to sms as discussed in the following thread.

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/can-I-send-email-to-sms-public-mobile-user-like-Roger-Bell-Telus/td-p/7981

I am using the following email address; [10digitnumber]@msg.telus.com

But for some reason no sms is delivered. Does anyone know of any other configuration that I need to do to get this working?

Thank you 🙂

Sorry about this, but it seems to work. The problem was that, I believe the email address that I was using had spam filters on its server side and somehow does not send sms to phones; however trying with a different email address from a different domain worked. 🙂

@CS_Agent: Please feel free to delete this thread as I answered my own question.

@Cheetah24, you can delete your own posts if you like. I suggest keeping the posts and you point out something that others may benefit from. I tried it using gmail and the text is not being received.

Edit: I just tried with a different email service and it worked as well. Interestingly, I received the gmail sent text at the same time. Seems like the gmail message was clogged in the system and needed something else to push it through.

I just tried it with my number and it worked.

I sent it from my gmail account. You're not including the brackets, right?

Just send to 5551234567@msg.telus.com

edit: Glad you got it to work!
