Email to Text — Send SMS from Any Email Client

Email to SMS is a service that converts an email into a text message delivered to a mobile phone. With TXTImpact, any system that can send an email — Gmail, Outlook, monitoring tools, alarm panels, web forms, IoT devices — can send a text without code or APIs. Once registered, your message is converted from email to SMS, and replies are forwarded back to your inbox.

Compose a new email in Gmail. In the To field, enter the recipient's number in the format: [email protected] (replace XXXXXXXXXX with the 10-digit phone number). Write your message in the subject or body. Send. The recipient receives a standard SMS. Their reply comes back to your Gmail inbox as a normal email thread.

Yes. TXTImpact is a drop-in replacement for all carrier email-to-SMS gateways. AT&T's txt.att.net shut down June 17, 2025; T-Mobile's tmomail.net stopped in late 2024; Verizon's vtext.com sunsets by March 2027. TXTImpact uses the same email-to-SMS address pattern, with no carrier guessing, verified business delivery, and two-way replies — all things the carrier gateways couldn't do.

No. Recipients receive a standard SMS on their phone — exactly like any other text message. There's nothing for them to install, sign up for, or do differently.

Yes. You can address a single email to multiple TXTImpact addresses and each recipient gets an individual SMS. TXTImpact also supports mass texting to large groups directly from your email or our platform.

No. That's the whole point. Unlike carrier gateways that required you to know whether someone was on AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile, TXTImpact routes to the right carrier automatically. One address works for every phone on every carrier in 200+ countries.

TXTImpact automatically detects and removes common email signatures and footers before converting your email to SMS, so recipients don't receive cluttered messages with your full email signature. You can also configure custom signature removal rules for non-standard formats.

Emails over 160 characters automatically convert to MMS at 2 text credits per message, allowing the full content to be delivered. You can also configure character limit alerts or auto-trim to keep messages within the standard SMS limit.

Yes. Any system that can send an automated email can send automated texts through TXTImpact — appointment reminders, server alerts, web form notifications, and more. No code changes required; just point the existing email output at your TXTImpact address.

Yes. TXTImpact uses email domain whitelisting so only authorized senders can trigger SMS from your account. All messages are logged and archived for compliance. The platform is 10DLC A2P registered in the US, meeting all TCPA and carrier compliance requirements for business SMS.
