@north450,

Are you looking to send a text message from your email to a Public Mobile number ?

If YES, use :

[10-digit phone number]@msg.telus.com

@makkahn28,

When you send an email, in the address field, you put this : 5140001234@msg.telus.com

This works for Public Mobile and Telus.

What I meant was, How does this service work exactly? Can you text anyone, and they receive that text like you sent it via handset?

@north450,

@makkahn28,

You can text anyone, but the recipient has to be subscribed to a "text plan" with Public Mobile.

If the recipient does not have a text plan, he won't receive your message.

Just curious. How do you have a texting conversation using this, if Handset was not on hand, or Battery was dead? Just curious. Also, how do you use the MMS ability with this?

@north450

At the moment with Public Mobile there is no way of accomplishing this. However, I do see it as a great idea you can add to our Public Lab?

Cheers!
