How to Send Email-to-SMS Messages
| Warning |
|---|
This system is designed for person-to-person messaging, not mass messaging. Although Mongotel imposes no limit on the number of texts you can send, sending too many texts in too short a time or too many texts with identical contents can result in the carrier blocking your number without informing either of us. |
This is the process for sending text messages from your email. You can send either SMS or MMS messages. Here’s the difference between those two message formats:
SMS—Short Message Service messages are what most people refer to when they say the word “texting.”
MMS—Multimedia Messaging Service messages are text messages that include attachments (like pictures, videos, or emojisaudio files).
Step 1: Log in to the email address associated with your number’s email-to-SMS service.
...
Step 3: In the To field, enter the 10-digit phone number of the person you’d like to text followed by “@sms.mongotel.com.”

To send mass messages list each recipient as a separate emailan SMS to multiple recipients at the same time, add all the addresses to the To field (do not use the CC or BCC fields). Each recipient will receive a separate SMS. This will not create a group chat. |
...
Fill out the To field using the same format as shown in the example images above.
