text messaging from touch?

You should search, I just answered this a couple days ago. Use an online client such as http://txtdrop.com/iphone. It will ask for your email, and all text message responses will be sent to your email and you can continue the convo from your mail.app.

 

I've tried a few sites before but none of them worked. (I'm in the UK if that makes a difference) I'll give the site you mentioned a try albinoAZN, thanks for the link.

EDIT: I see that it says 10 digit number, how do you go about typing it in? The standard length of a UK mobile number is 11 digits, with a 0 on the front. Does the site only work for America, or does the number need to be altered?

Thanks

 

The problem is there are 11 digits though I really wanna be able to use a site like that its great idea that it sends the reply to your email.

 

I send texts to my girlfriend using the mail app very easily. If you have the person you want to text email you something the adress SHOULD be their phone number and for example @vtext.com in verizons case. Add them as a contact then boom. I'm not sure this works with all cell phone companies, but its worth a shot.

 

When I send a text to my phone from the mail app, it sends the email I sent back to myself. I'm using gmail... Do you know why it's doing this?? My phone still gets the text, it's just putting a copy of the original message in my inbox and it's a little annoying...

 

1. Create a new email message
2. In the To: box, type 10digitnumber@teleflip.com (1235551234@teleflip.com)
3. Type a message and click send
4. The message will be sent to the cell phone with the number in the To: box
All recieved text messages will be sent to you as an email. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
