Title: SMS Gateways
Post by: Thork on November 20, 2014, 11:28:11 AM

I have EE as a provider. The internet tells me my gateway is my10digitnumber@mms.ee.co.uk

But it also tells me there are 'difficulties reported' with my network. Indeed I get a reply e-mail saying "We regret that we currently cannot accept replies to  **********@mms.ee.co.uk."

How do I get around these 'difficulties' and send myself an SMS via e-mail? Google isn't being very helpful.

Have you considered installing an e-mail client on your phone?

lol, everyone in my company is on EE. I don't want to send to myself. I want to send to my colleagues and then automate it.

If you don't know the answer, just leave it. I don't want alternative suggestions. I want to send e-mails direct to SMS.

Why exactly do you want to do that? What is necessitating this most curious of design decisions?

You can't.  Its on EE's end most likely and thus you are powerless if you want to use EE to send something.
