email to text message
"All AT&T wireless phones are set up to send and receive e-mail messages by using the following address: yournumber@txt.att.net. You can exchange short e-mails with any e-mail address worldwide."
However, when I or anyone else tries to do this to my iPhone the email immediately bounces back with the message of "no such user" or something like that.
It is clear that on the iPhone you cannot enter anything other than numbers when you want to text someone but I would be content if I could receive texts that originate as an email.
AT&T says this feature doesn't work on iPhones.
However, I went into an Apple store and an employee successfully emailed a text message to themselves on their iPhone
I think the problem is that AT&T somehow messed up my account so that they don't have a way of accepting an email intended for my text messaging.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I have a 3GS.
Thanks,
Pete
