What is Email to SMS?

Email to SMS lets you send a text message right from your email account. Instead of an email landing in someone’s inbox, it arrives as an SMS on their phone. Whether you’re keeping in touch with customers, clients, or your team, it’s an easy way to stay connected.
Don't get lost in an overflowing email inbox. Texts are 5x more likely to be opened than emails. Use our email to SMS service to make sure your important messages get through.
