The Text-Connect™ email to text function works independently of your email software, meaning that you can send a SMS text with all the popular email software, including Eudora, Thunderbird, Outlook and web mail, whatever your chosen system, Mac, PC, Linux or Unix. . . . .
It's simple. Draft your message as an email and hit send. The 'To' email address is your recipients mobile number combined with the text-connect.co.uk server address.
When your email reaches our server it is converted in to a SMS text message and delivered to the number you specified in the 'To' address. Delivery of your text message is almost instant.
Text-Connect™ 'email to text' is ideal for adding text message alerts to critical applications that have access to the Internet, including UPS power supply monitoring, server status, and alerts from other monitoring equipment. Text-Connect gives you the tools to deliver alerts to engineers are SMS or email.
If you already use a bulk email system for personalised marketing mailshots this opens up the possibility of including text shots at the same time.
When combined with a '2 way' send and receive account, replies sent to your Text-Number are forwarded to your email, completing the loop. Using email to text is a great way of managing your text message communications. Incoming text messages forwarded to your email have previous messages in the conversation appended along with your contacts name from your address book. This gives you a 'Conversation View' making your reply quick and easy to draft. When you reply the system automatically truncates the old message chain and delivers just your SMS Text reply, so saving you message credits.
Email to SMS Text supports long messages giving you upto 612 characters in a message for meaningful communication.
Prior to emailing for the first time there are some security settings to configure and we will help with that.
