To send a text message from your computer to someone’s cell phone, do the following.
A complete list of cell phone suffixes are provided at the end of the steps.
- If you want to send a text message to someone using Telus Mobility, for example, and their cell phone number is 555-123-4567. Open a new email message and
In the “To” field type
Don’t insert any dashes or spaces in the cell number, just the digits.
- Tab to the subject field and put in a subject line.
- Tab to the edit field and put in your message. Then send as usual.
When I sent a text message to my Telus Mobility Cell number from my Outlook email account the text message seemed to come from the number, 999-999-9999, followed by my email address. When I tried to reply from the text message, it didn’t work as that number does not receive replies, and it sent me a text message indicating that I must reply using the email address of the original sender. When I did that it was sent as a normal email using the iPhone’s Native Email app.
Here is a very long list of email suffixes you add to the cell phone number. Note: Every suffix listed here is written with the word “at” rather than the @ sign. It is listed alphabeticly.

HI Albert,
Iâve always been confused by the instructions about âreplying above this lineâ as I donât really get what that means.
In any case, should you receive this, very interesting info here. I sent an email to myself and received the text message that I wasnât subscribed and if I wanted to be subscribed to type âyesâ in reply.
So, not knowing where this would take me with Rogers, I thought I would delete the text and see if I could ask you about subscribing to these services.
Iâve been on several GTT calls, I like what I hear from you and Kim plus the others from across the country, but Iâm not always able to make all the calls. The notes are great summaries,
Thanks,
David
Aurora
