I have known that you can send email via SMS under AT&T if you use 0000 as the number and have the email address as the first thing in the message. But I was just playing around with the SMS options menu and saw something called Email Gateway. So after much trial and error, I found that if you use 0000 (that's four zeros) as the gateway number, you can now send emails just the same as sms. Just goto to the SMS options, set email gateway as 0000, set sms type as set on send and you are done.
Whenever you want to send an email, just select email when it asks for the sms type and it will then as for the email address. If you setup your phonebook with the person's email, then you can just select it off the phonebook. Very handy!! Otherwise, just type it in. And then just your message as always!! it's that simple!! enjoy.

You are the man! I already send and recieve emails with my T68i using my work Exchange account. But I've heard of sending email similar to the way you described. I just didn't know that AT&T was set up to work like that, too.
Thanks so much for posting that tip!

Attention AT&T! You'd better start supporting MMS or I'm switching to T-Mobile!  |
