Can I get my SMS by Email? (out of coverage)

StarsRaglan — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 22:14:00 GMT

I'm in a remote area in Canada (no coverage) for a few week but still have acces to a really slow internet. Did PM have a fonctionnality on their website to help me get my SMS. I need to receive a validation by my SMS service.

@StarsRaglan

Public mobile does not have this type of service unfortunately.

@StarsRaglan No such luck. This is not available with Public Mobile.

No, but if you have an iPhone, you can use iMessage.There are also chat messaging apps that use internet, or have your contacts send you e-mail.

Try using a Wi-Fi app like Textplus.

@StarsRaglan You can send a text using email if you know the phone number and the carrier that the receiver is on as follows:

All you need to know is the 10 digit phone number and the mobile service provider to generate an email address.

Below are some of the major phone provider email domains:

AT&T	@txt.att.net
Bell Mobility	@txt.bell.ca
Koodo Mobile	@msg.koodomobile.com
MTS	@text.mtsmobility.com
Rogers	@pcs.rogers.com
SaskTel	@sms.sasktel.com
Sprint	@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile	@tmomail.net
US Cellular	@msg.telus.com
Verizon	@emai.uscc.net
Virgin Mobile Canada	@vtext.com
Virgin Mobile USA	@vmobile
Talkline	@sms.talkline.de
Tele2	@sms.tele2.se
Telia	@sms.telia.se

Fido

@fido.ca

Public Mobile

@msg.telus.com

Example: If you are sending a text message to a Bell phone with the phone number 111-222-3333, the email address will be "1112223333@txt.bell.ca"

@geopublic

Telus isn’t on your list. I have seen the email address for Telus but cant find it at the moment.

I guess this doesn’t help the OP who needs to be able to receive a text though but good info all the same. As mentioned if the OP is using an iPhone and iMessage there are ways to force it to use wifi since OP has no voice network coverage.

Both Telus and Public use msg.telus.com. You can use RCS for Android works similar to iMessage. The only problem is that both parties need to be using iPhones or running RCS to be able to communicate.

I posted this as a FYI since @StarsRaglan is at a remote location and would still be able to send out a text via email in case of an emergency.
