How Do I Send an Email to a Phone Number?
To send an email to a phone number, you’ll need to know a person’s full phone number and which mobile service provider they use. Here’s how it all works.
Can You Email to a Cellphone?
While you can send an email to any cellphone that can accept text messages, there are a few points of etiquette to consider before you click send.
Be sure the person you’re contacting knows who you are, especially if it’s not obvious from your email address or phone number. It’s also wise to double-check the phone number before you click send.If the person you’re contacting has limited messages on their plan, use email-to-text sparingly. This is also true when a phone is “roaming,” or connected to a network other than one the owner has a contract with.Keep messages short. Longer messages may be broken up into multiple texts and will also take longer to be processed. In our tests, some of them didn’t even go through.Stick to plain text and avoid formatting like bold and italics or using emoji. Depending on the provider and email server, that formatting may be stripped out or rendered incorrectly making your text hard to read.If you’re including a phone on a group email, or vice versa, remember to remove it when done so unrelated messages don’t pile up in a text app or an inbox.
