This service replaces the reply-path number that we would normally send with the message, replacing it with the first 11 characters of the email’s Subject field. So when the message arrives on the recipient’s phone they see who it’s from, rather than one of our reply-path numbers.

We take the body of the email and send it out as one or more text messages. Adding $$ after your message ensures that any email signature or disclaimer isn’t sent out with your message.

• » Cc: This field is unused. If populated, the TextAnywhere SMS Gateway will ignore the contents.
• » Bcc: This field is unused. If populated, the TextAnywhere SMS Gateway will ignore the contents.
• » Subject: The first 11 characters of the Subject field will be sent as the Originator for the SMS. None of the Subject content will be sent in the body of the SMS. If the first four characters are ‘Re: ‘, then these will be ignored and the next 11 characters will be taken. If the Subject is empty, then a reply-path number will be sent instead of an alphanumeric originator.
• » Body: The content of the email message body will be the content of the text message. The body will be split in to 160 character parts (the maximum length of a text message) and will be sent as multiple messages if over 160 characters.

To ensure that any email signature or disclaimer is not sent out with your message body enter $$ at the end of the message body. Upon receiving your email, the SMS Gateway will only send out the message body before the $$, discarding all content after the $$.
