If we know someones phone number and the carrier they are using, we can send text or regular email to it, using whatever email client we are using in our personal computer. Where we normally enter the email address, we have to enter the phone number and the phone carrier in the following format:

 phone#@carrier

The data is normally sent in one of two possible service formats; SMS (Short Messaging Service), or MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). SMS handles short simple text messages and MMS handles large messages that can include images (photos), emoticons, text in different color and size, internet links, etc. I believe that all MMS messages are sent in HTML format (Hyper Text Markup Language) by the mail client.

The "@carrier" portion of the email address is different for SMS and MMS except for T-mobil carrier.
Here are the carrier dependent address formats:

                T-Mobil             Verizon               AT&T               
SMS    @tmomail.net    @vtext.com       @text.att.net   
MMS   @tmomail.net    @vzwpix.com    @mms.att.net 

Example using fictitious phone #:

7549991111@tmomail.net

UPDATE: June, 2026

I was informed, via email on 2025, that this was no longer supported.
But that was a LIE from the dishonest network spies that monitor our emails.
I tested it on June 2026, and it is still working.
Of course you must use a good mail client,
 not a Windows client that might inhibit you from doing this.
Web mail clients might also inhibit this, because "they" want you to use your smart phones for email and access to the internet. Big brother does not want you to use a desktop computer running
a good operating system and a good email client. :)
