Email to SMS

Betwixt — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 11:02:20 GMT

My O2 cell phone number is 07707******. I need to receive email to SMS messages from a USA source. To do so they state the following:

Enter your cellular Phone Number followed by the @ and then the email domain of your carrier. For example 7703456789@vtext.com is a Verizon cell phone number and Verizon's email domain.

I assume the number will be 447707******?

What is O2's Carrier?

What is the Carrier’s email domain?

@Betwixt

O2 no longer support this function.

You'll need to Google for a third party to handle this for you.

Thank you for the quick response. I regret that I wouldn't know what to start searching for. Is there a starting point or key phrase that might help?

2 years later and there are only external paid-for services.

I remain surprised that O2 haven't picked this up as part of a bundle offer.

I know there are technical challenges, but stripping the text from the crud of an HTML email is not beyond the wit of woman or man.
