You can send "email" through Cingular over SMS in the same manner using
Cingular's SMS gateway. In all your hard research before flaming, I guess
you missed that.

Not at all. Az I've noted in this and other threads (do the research), the
Ciingular email over SMS doesn't work properly.

All the incoming message show as being from "36-245" in the inbox, and
replies to those messages go in to a black hole somewhere, and are never
delivered to the message originator.

The Cingular email over SMS is unusable for those reasons, and calls to
Cingular haven't helped.

If you have any hints on how to make that work, I'd sure appreciate your
constructive reply.

Bruce.

As he wrote, the Cingular SMS-email *Gateway* works properly.

The sending email address is at the beginning of the SMS message.

You need to address your messages properly. That's a snap on my SE Z600 --
I just highlight the sending email address, press Send, compose the email
message, and then send it to the SMS-email Gateway (121).

>The Cingular email over SMS is unusable for those reasons,

Works fine.

>and calls to

Did you buy the phone from Cingular? If so, it should have been
auto-provisioned properly.

Just as I'd sure appreciate your more constructive attitude. ;-)

Care to point us to a Cingular URL with instructions?

I've already done that, as you should know if you've been paying attention.

Is more of a reference manual than a how to.


But how does one get there from
http://www.cingular.com ?

Indeed. It's for those determined to walk their own path without help from
Cingular. If you want help from Cingular, then you need to have a phone
supported by Cingular, and use OTA provisioning, which makes it dead simple.

One doesn't, as should be obvious -- such documents aren't appropriate for
average consumers.

Sorry, but it's not working on my phone. As I said, it's unusable as
implimented and documented.

Thanks for the info John, but nothing you've offered has improved the
situation here at all.

I have no idea what that means. I've tried chanfing the to: on replies to
121 and the message just goes in to the same black hole as always.

On my v400, all the incoming messages show as "36-245" (regardless of sender
address) so there's no email address to hightlght.

> Works fine.

I wish.

> Just as I'd sure appreciate your more constructive attitude. ;-)

Like I said, it still doesn't work.

Bruce.

It made for interesting reading, those parts that I understood, but didn't
offer anything that helped in my case.

If you can't get that to work, you can always go MMS route, which is better
(albeit more expensive) than SMS due to what it can contain anyway. Addess
to (10digit#)@mms.mycingular.com

My guess is he's just familiar with your reputation around here.

I figured everyone had him on kill file by now.

The Cingular email-SMS gateway can be used with *any* phone that can send and
receive SMS messages.

It will work if the message is formatted properly.

The email address is in the body of the SMS message.

Why am I not surprised.
