Email to SMS Service

An email to text message service allows users to send SMS text messages directly from their email account to a recipient’s mobile phone.

This is done by sending the email to the recipient’s phone number through a sms gateway, which converts the email into a text message that is delivered to the recipient's mobile device.

The email to text message process is simple. You send an email from your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) to a recipient's 10-digit phone number followed by their mobile carrier's gateway address.

For example, sending an email to 1234567890@txt.att.net will convert the email into an SMS message and deliver it to the recipient's mobile number.

Yes, when you send an email to text message, recipients can reply directly to the text message. Their reply will be converted back into an email and sent to your email inbox.

This ensures seamless communication between your email client and the recipient’s mobile phone.

• Convenience: Send texts directly from your email account.

• Wide Reach: Instantly reach recipients on their mobile phones.

• Simplicity: No special software is required—just an email and the recipient’s phone number.

• Cost-effective: Use your existing email client without needing additional messaging apps.

• MMS support: Some services support multimedia messaging, allowing images and longer texts.

You can set up an SMS gateway by integrating Sakari with your preferred email service or messaging app.

Once configured, you can start sending sms text messages using your email gateway to deliver messages directly to mobile phones.

Yes. We support two-way MMS (image) messaging in the United States and Canada.

MMS messages are priced at a $0.02 USD premium to whatever plan rate your account is on. For example, if you're in the Starter plan with a rate of $0.032 USD per segment in the United States, an image message would be $0.052 USD.

In addition to sending the image, MMS have the advantage of increasing your available character count limit to 1,600 characters (compared to 160 typically for SMS). Accordingly, you can send longer text messages without incurring multiple segments.

When sending email to text messages, standard SMS messages are limited to 160 characters. If your message exceeds this limit, it may be sent as multiple SMS segments.

However, if you use MMS (multimedia messaging), you can increase the character limit to 1,600 characters, allowing for longer messages.

Sakari’s email to text message service allows you to send text messages from your email account to any recipient’s phone number.

Simply enter their mobile number and the sms gateway address in your email client, and Sakari will convert the email into an SMS message that’s delivered to their mobile device.
