Auto-forward important mail to your phone as a text message. Set your email app to forward messages from a particular sender to your phone's SMS address automatically.
- Your phone's SMS "address" is your 10-digit number followed by your carrier's SMS gateway. For example, to forward an email to a Verizon phone, enter "[email protected]".
- You'll find a list of SMS gateways for dozens of phone services in the US and overseas on this Email Unlimited page.
