Important Update: Text-to-email Service Shutdown by AT&T, Verizon & T-Mobile

After Verizon® and T-Mobile discontinued its vText and @tmomail.net email-to-text service in late 2024, AT&T also shut down its Email-to-Text (txt.att.net) and Text-to-Email (mms.att.net) services on June 17, 2025.

This move impacts thousands of users and businesses that previously relied on vText and AT&T’s free gateways to send SMS and MMS messages via email. If you're looking for a reliable and scalable replacement, TXTImpact offers a secure, carrier-compliant solution for sending both SMS and MMS directly from your email, without needing to know the recipient’s mobile carrier.
