The MUTOH ValueJet 1638UR Wide Format Printer Just Gave You Your Weekend Back! Text Someone.
You Just Got the Most From Your MUTOH Wide Format Printer
You’ve worked all week, using your MUTOH wide format printer to get that big job out the door before the end of the day. You did it! Your new MUTOH ValueJet 1638UR UV roll-to-roll printer printed perfectly and flawlessly as it always does.
So now it’s the weekend. Your sitting in your favorite chair by the pool with your favorite beverage tapping away on your laptop, reading your mail in outlook and you realize you want to send a text message or email to a co-worker’s phone about a job that needs to be done next week BUT…your phone is in the inside charging. Now you have to get out of that comfy chair put down that favorite beverage and get the phone…….or do you?
Outlook can call your cell phone!
Now, you might wonder why you’d bother, but it’s a convenient way to send phone numbers, short messages, reminders, and other important stuff to your cell phone so you can store it or share it. For instance, you might send a new client’s phone number and address to your cell phone, just in case you get lost or stuck in traffic.
Of course, you don’t have to use Outlook to send an e-mail to just your own cell phone. You can send an e-mail to anybody, as long as their cell phone supports Short Message Service (SMS). Fortunately, it’s a truly simple process.
How to Do It
- Create a new e-mail message.
- In the To text box, enter the cell phone number using the following syntax: 10-digit-number@carrierdomain.com
- Create a message of 160 characters or less. Or attach a .jpg file, if the cell phone is also a camera phone.
- Send the e-mail.
Below is a list of the major carrier domains:
Alltel | @message.alltel.com |
Cingular/AT&T | @txt.att.net |
Nextel | @messaging.nextel.com |
Sprint | @messaging.sprintpcs.com |
SunCom | @tms.suncom.com |
T-mobile | @tmomail.net |
VoiceStream | @voicestream.net |
Verizon | @vtext.com |
If you don’t know the cell phone’s service carrier, visit whitepages.com or phonenumber.com/reverse-phone, and enter the 10-digit cell phone number using the reverse lookup feature. If you’re lucky, it’ll list the carrier. If the carrier’s domain isn’t listed above, check its Web site.
Keep in mind that text messages aren’t always free. The recipient might be charged for the message.
