TextMe - We text urgent emails to your mobile
Think of it like TextMagic in reverse. Rather than using the web or e-mail to send text messages, we take your most urgent e-mails and send them as texts straight to your mobile phone.
This represents tremendous peace of mind for people whose jobs depend on staying on top of emergencies, but you use it to receive information on pretty much anything: stock prices, sports scores, birthday reminders, bank account balance reminders, server alerts, email forwarding, and more
How does it work?
We’ll give you a new email address, which is connected to your mobile phone number. All emails sent to this new address appear on your phone as texts. And by adding several phones you can actually build a comprehensive alert service.
Getting Started
First, just sign up for a TextMagic account and purchase a block of SMS credits. Then log in to your new or existing TextMagic account and find TextMe service under My Services tab and do the following:
- Simply list the mobile phone(s) for your new TextMe email and click "Save".
- You can add an unlimited number of mobile phone numbers.
- Then your new TextMe email address is created.
- You can now use your TextMe service to sign up for email alert/reminder services and all emails sent to your TextMe email will be instantly forwarded to the mobile phone(s) you listed. Simple!
