This may happen to you: A few times each month I get an email delivered to my junk\/spam folder from an address such as 7755551212@txt.att.net. If I happen to recognize the 10-digit phone number before the “@” symbol I can recognize who it’s from, and respond accordingly. But often times it goes unnoticed or unopened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When sending messages from a smartphone you typically have 2 options – a “Messages” app and an “Email” app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Messages<\/strong> app is meant for sending short messages – usually 160 characters or less – to the recipient’s phone number<\/strong>. The message can be accompanied by one or more photos. If you incorrectly send a message to an email address<\/strong>, it goes through your wireless carrier’s SMS-to-email gateway which converts the message and appears to the recipient as an email coming from “your-mobile-number”@”your-carriers-gateway” – as described in the beginning paragraph of this article. Messages typically cannot be read on a computer – they are meant for mobile-to-mobile communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Email<\/strong> app is meant for sending an email to the recipient’s email address<\/strong>. Emails can contain lots of text, photos, short videos or other attachments, and can be recognized by the recipient in their as originating from your display name and\/or email address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next time you originate a message or email from your mobile device, make sure you are addressing the recipient in the correct app and correct format – using their 10-digit phone number or email address appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Print<\/a> Print This Article<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
