How do you send email to SMS text?
The email to SMS gateway is a cheap and convenient way of sending and receiving texts via the email application you are already familiar with.
Here’s how you can configure email to text with our SMS gateway:

Can I schedule text messages via the email to SMS service?
Textmagic does not offer a scheduling logic for the text to email service, but scheduling should be available directly from your email application, so you can schedule emails to be sent to Textmagic later using your email application. Whenever we receive an email, we will immediately send a text message.
How can I use SMS distribution lists?
You can set-up SMS distribution lists to automatically reach out to multiple subscribers at the same time. Distribution lists can be set-up from the Distribution Lists page.
How can I receive SMS notifications from third-party services using Textmagic?
We recommend that you use a distribution list to receive SMS notifications from third-party services. Please do the following:

- Step #3: When we receive an email from you, we will automatically forward a text message to all recipients in your list.
