I used to be able to send and SMS to an email address with T-Mobile. I think
I put the email address in the first line of the text, but I forget. Is
there a way to text to an email address (not a phone number) with Cingular?

You just hit the nail on the head <wink>. Email address first, then message.
Of course make sure they are seperated. Some handsets also have the option
of sending to an email address specifically instead of a number.

Thanks for the quick response, Jason. Yes, I've seen handsets with the email
option, but mine doesn't have it. Two more questions:
1. Separated by what, just a space?
2. What number do you send the text *to*? I think I remember T-Mob had a 3
digit number for this sort of thing.

1. Yes just a space
2. Depends on your area, either 111 or 121. I am in SC and 111 works for me.
The place I originally got this infor from, John Navas site, gives the
example of using 111 for NC area or 121 for San Francisco Bay area. By that
I would assume 111 for east coast, 121 for west coast, so if in between, I
have no clue <wink>. Good luck and happy texting!

Bingo! Both 111 and 121 worked for me in Pennsylvania.
Using 111, the email from address was [email protected],
subject was <no subject>, and just the text I sent in the text part of the
email.
Using 121, the from address was xxxxxxxxxx
<[email protected]>, so that my email client only showed
xxxxxxxxxx in the preview window, subject was "mobile e-mail", and after my
text there was a signature block that said:
