Help, please!   Your phone's SMS "address" is your 10-digit number followed by your carrier's SMS gateway. Example if I were using Nextel, that would be my 10 digit number followed by [your number]@messaging.nextel.com. Could you please tell me about Public Mobile's?

I was going to say the same thing [10 digit phone number]@msg.telus.com for sms and [10 digit number]@mms.mb.telus.com for mms.

Thanks! Interesting little switch on Telus' own version! My mom will appreciate it so much! Awesome!

Hi @CherylKirby try;

[10digitnumber]@msg.telus.com

According to this thread that may work for you.

  1. Sign in to Gmail on a computer at gmail.com

  2. Click Compose to create a new message

  3. Enter the phone number in the to: field (full 10 digit number for the US) followed by the SMS gateway listing (the “domain name” for the carrier). For example 1234567890@tmomail.net. Check out common Mail-to-SMS Gateway listings.

  4. Write your message

  5. Click Send and your SMS will be sent to the phone number you entered

I was using Nextel as an example. I used to use Telus and it was my number plus @msg.telus.com. "5555555555@msg.telus.com"  That would allow my mother who has a computer but not a smartphone to send emails directly to my texts.

@CherylKirby, Not sure what you mean by SMS address.  In order to receive a text message (SMS), the sender would simply send to your (Public Mobile) 10 digit phone number.  Your example sounds like an email address that is provided by nextel.
