Avoid using mobile operator’s email-to-SMS gateways
There was a time when mobile operators’ email-to-SMS gateways were popular. They offered convenience for users, allowing SMS messages to be sent for free with an Internet package. However, we don’t recommend relying on these gateways anymore. There are far more effective options available today, and we’ll explain why.
How do email to SMS gateways work?
Email to SMS gateways work in a relatively simple way.
- Write your email
- In the “recipient’s email address” section, enter : [email protected]
- The email will then be sent directly by SMS to the number you specify
This is generally free of charge. However, some operators charge for SMS messages.
Why avoid these gateways?
As we’ve said, it’s best to avoid using these gateways. Firstly, the operators do not guarantee delivery of the message. As a result, the recipient may never receive your SMS. This is inconvenient and risky in an emergency. On the other hand, operators are starting to filter messages more and more. Again, the SMS may not be delivered.
What’s the alternative to these gateways?
Today’s messaging platforms are much more practical than these gateways. They allow you to manage all your communications on a single platform. Here’s how to get started:
- Register
- Subscribe to an offer
- Import contacts
These platforms allow you to send and receive messages. Some can even connect you to your social network’s messaging service.
