Email to SMS

- Web Development
Email to Short Message Service (SMS) is a topic I’ve been researching for a while and have been disappointed on how disjointed researching can be. It seems that most resources are either extremely basic or advanced. There doesn’t seem to be a happy medium which is where I feel I sit at the moment.
Currently I am trying to put together a database of all known SMS email address for web application use. These can be found randomly strewn about between SMS server services to mobile phone zealots’ sites. I simply want the list so if I ever needed to send a SMS to a phone from a web form I can. I hope the following list will be of help to someone. Also any additional SMS email address would be appreciated.
I will eventually add other formats to the list. Right now I’m planning on adding MySQL and an html form output which I would like to make customizable for region specific localization:
|
1 2 3 |
<select><option value="cingularme.com">Cingular</option><option value="messaging.nextel.com">Nextel</option><option value="messaging.sprintpcs.com">Sprint</option><option value="tmomail.net">T-Mobile</option><option value="vtext.com">Verizon</option><option value="vmobl.com">Virgin Mobile</option> </select> |
Which would give:
For a tutorial on how to implement this using PHP check out NetTuts Plus.
I’ve also done a tutorial on how to send SMS with Twilio.
Update 7/13/2012: Added MySQL dump for download.

it was very interesting to read.

And you et an account on Twitter?

Thankyou for this collection.
You’re welcome! If anyone has input on some I’m missing I would appreciate it (and add it, of course).
you missed the uk network of 3, go to three.co.uk and you’ll know, i need it urgently please
I emailed them and have not yet received a response back. I’ll let you know when I do.
do you know Globe Telecoms in PH.
Thanks
Page Plus uses the Verizon network.
number@vtext.com
Thanks, Becky, I’ve added it to the list! Thanks for the input. If anyone else knows of any other gateway addresses that I’ve missed just leave it here in the comments and I’ll add it! Thanks!
Thank you

Do you have the MySQL dump file? Can you send to my email? Thanks a lot!
I’ll get one posted.
Done.
Hello, im in VietNam, do u help me check provider domain in vietnam? I want to test send sms, but try other domain is not send. Thanks.
Should I give the phone number in the farmat CountryCode + 10 digit number? Say if I need to send one text to India(country code 91) another to UKCountry code 44). Then should I do like 911234567890@domain.com and 441234567890@domain.com?
I have not tested it, but I do believe that is correct. If anyone outside the US can confirm this, I would appreciate it.
I don’t know about other countries, but in Brazil we need CountryCode + AreaCode + 8 or 9 digit number. The AreaCode is for region, states and even big cities. Sao Paulo is 11, Rio de Janeiro is 21. The biggest mobile company in Brazil is Vivo, which is not in the list.
Kevin,
CLARO in Puerto Rico @vtexto.com
Kevin,
Open Mobile in Puerto Rico is: @email.openmobilepr.com
Thanks a lot Kevin
I notice there are some duplicates (Verizon, for example). How do we know which to use…or how to differentiate between them for the end-user to pick one?
Some of the domain names are older (e.g., Verizon’s myvzw.com) and some vary by region. I’ve wanted to spend some time on this again and update it with country, region, city, etc., meta-data to make it a bit more useful. If you want a more fail-proof method I would spam all the servers for a carrier.
Another alternative would be to have the user confirm their number. You could send a random number to their mobile device and have them enter that into a confirmation field or they could select that they would like the message resent. If it is resent try a different domain name and try to narrow it down. It does suck, but if you want something simpler and more reliable check out Twilio or Tropo. I would recommend Twilio as they seem to be out-pacing Tropo in features and ease of use and price.
Good luck!
what’s the mail id for vodafone india , karnataka.
Please, I am in ghana. Can I get the carrier list for Airtel Ghana, MTN Ghana, Tigo Ghana and Vodafon Ghana. Thank you.
Have you finally get the carrier list for ghana?
If I can get some names of carriers I’ll send some emails and try to get some of them.
@digitextjm.com for digicel in jamaica
A third, binary column could list the preferred (primary) address when multiple are available.
merci bcp pour la DB je voulais juste savoir esque c des services d’envoi gratuit ou payant et esque sa marche pour tout le monde

That is a good idea. I’ll have to work on it.
Hello,
Thanks for this list, but how can i find some other carrier like Bouygues or Free mobile (France).
Good collection.
any carrier for Philippines?
I will look into it. Do you have any names of carriers in the area? I’ll send some emails and see if I can track down the sms gateways.
Good compiled listing. However, how come some careers are dupped and multiple gateway is listed. Which one to use? see below:
