SMS to Email Relay

In the past, many cellular service providers supported sending text messages directly to email addresses and vice versa, but many of these are working at discontinuing support for this feature. Because this remains a useful feature for people who do not use a smartphone, we have built our own system for giving you back this functionality on any Sunbeam phone that supports texting.

How It Works

Sending Messages

Want to email someone from your Sunbeam phone? Just send a text!

  • Open your messaging app
  • Enter an email address as the recipient
  • Type your message and send
  • Your message arrives in their email inbox
  • Your message will include an unsubscribe link so the recipient can opt out of further messages

Receiving Messages

When someone replies to your email, you'll get it as a text.

  • They reply to the email you sent
  • You receive a text notification
  • The message appears in your conversation
  • Attachments in the email are removed, and a note included showing what they were
  • Reply back just like a normal text

Note: For your privacy, only people you've messaged first can send emails as text messages back to your phone. If you no longer want to receive messages from someone, simply block them in your messaging app.
