T-Mobile email to text: is tmomail.net still working?

Last checked . Every dated fact links to its source.

T-Mobile's email-to-text address is the 10-digit number at tmomail.net. T-Mobile has not announced a shutdown and its help pages still describe the service, but users report outages, blocked senders and a new format with a leading 1. Reports vary, so test before you rely on it.[1][4][5]

T-Mobile email-to-text today

Unclear

No shutdown announced, and T-Mobile's help pages still describe it. Users report outages and a changed number format; reports vary.[1][4]

Text (SMS) address
5551234567@tmomail.net
MMS address
5551234567@tmomail.net

5551234567 stands for the 10-digit mobile number, without spaces or dashes.

What changed and when

  1. A user sending about four home-automation texts a day to two family numbers reports being blocked by T-Mobile under a policy code, AUP#MXRT.[5]

  2. Users on r/tmobile report that tmomail.net stopped working. Several say it started working again days later. T-Mobile made no announcement that we could find.[4]

  3. A user reports it still works, but only with a 1 in front of the 10-digit number (15551234567@tmomail.net). Not confirmed by T-Mobile.[4]

  4. T-Mobile's spam help page, as archived that day, still explains that email “is delivered to your phone number via your tmomail as a text message”.[1]

  • tmomail.net still has working mail servers. That shows the address exists, not that every message is delivered.[3]
  • Some vendor blogs say tmomail.net was discontinued or no longer resolves. We found no T-Mobile statement saying so, and the domain still resolves.[3]

Why texts go missing

  • T-Mobile accepts plain text only: “make sure that the email is plain text only. HTML is not supported.” Many devices and mail apps send HTML by default.[2]
  • Senders get blocked, even at low volume. One user sending a few texts a day to family was blocked under policy code AUP#MXRT.[5]
  • Outages without notice. Users reported the address stopped working, then came back days later.[4]
  • The number format may have changed: one user reports only 15551234567@tmomail.net works now, with the leading 1. If plain 10 digits fail, try that.[4]

What to use instead

The alert is only for you

A push-notification app is often enough, and cheaper. Many alarms, cameras and NAS boxes have their own app, and general push apps such as Pushover give you an email address that turns into a notification on your phone. The catch: everyone who should get the alert has to install the app and keep its notifications on.

You can write code and do paperwork

Send through an SMS API such as Twilio. In the US you first have to register a sender with the carriers (10DLC or toll-free verification), which asks for business details and can be refused. Then you build and look after the email-to-text bridge yourself.

Real texts to people who will not install an app

That is what Email2Text is for. Your device emails its alert to your private Email2Text address, and it arrives as a real text on the phones you have added and activated with a verification code. A partner, a parent or a colleague on a basic phone gets it like any other text. No carrier paperwork for you. From $5 a month.

Switching a device over

  1. Sign up and add the phone number that should get the alerts. It gets a verification text with a code; enter the code in your account to activate it.
  2. In the device's alert email settings, replace the carrier address (5551234567@tmomail.net) with your private Email2Text address.
  3. Send a test alert from the device.

Texts go only to numbers activated on your account, never to lists of people. Read exactly what we send.

Get started

Sign up now; texting opens as soon as US carrier approval of our sender comes through.

Questions

Does tmomail.net still work?

T-Mobile has announced no shutdown, and its own help pages still describe email delivered “via your tmomail as a text message”. Users report it works for some and not others, and that it went down for a few days. We could not confirm more than that.[1][4]

What is the T-Mobile email to text address?

The 10-digit number at tmomail.net, for example 5551234567@tmomail.net. One user reports that only the 11-digit form with a leading 1 works now; T-Mobile has not said so.[1][4]

Why was I blocked from sending to tmomail.net?

T-Mobile can block senders it treats as unwanted. A user who sent a few alerts a day to two family numbers reported a block with the code AUP#MXRT.[5]

Is tmomail.net a scam?

No. It is T-Mobile's own email-to-text domain. T-Mobile explains that texts from short numbers in certain ranges are emails delivered through tmomail and will show the sender's email address. Scammers can still send through it, so treat unexpected messages with care.[1]
