Title: HG Sending Text Messages to Phone
Post by: Eric_S on March 17, 2015, 05:01:26 AM

In order to make HG send text messages to your phone, use the data in the table below to fill in the 'E-Mail Address' 'E-mail Account' program in 'Messaging and Social'. I never knew it was this easy!

Carrier	Email to SMS gateway
Alltel	[insert 10-digit number] @message.alltel.com
AT&T	[insert 10-digit number] @txt.att.net
Boost Mobile	[insert 10-digit number] @myboostmobile.com
Sprint	[insert 10-digit number] @messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile	[insert 10-digit number] @tmomail.net
US Cellular	[insert 10-digit number] @email.uscc.net
Verizon	[insert 10-digit number] @vtext.com
Virgin Mobile	[insert 10-digit number] @vmobl.com

Good list.  Google has this info but it's nice to have it in one place!

For AT&T when using the address above with Yahoo email, each message comes in from a different number.  I found that if you instead use this MMS address:

AT&T   [insert 10-digit number] @mms.att.net

It will show that the message is from the actual email address you use, so all your HG messages will be from one sender.  Your texting app may play into this as well.  I also make the subject empty ("") to conserve space.

Anyway, someone may find this useful :-)
