Email sent as text message on iPhone

Text messages can only be sent to an email address if it is associated with an Apple ID. Otherwise, sending text messages to an email ID will not be possible. It's important to note that when the message is sent to an Apple ID, it will appear in the Message app rather than the inbox of the associated email account, similar to the reception of iMessage/SMS/MMS.

Did you get a response from her? If you didn't, I suspect either she never saw it or she is continuing to stand by the boundary she established. Teachers will often restrict their communications to email as they then have very clear documentation. In some cases, it's even school policy.

We are preparing to take 150 10th graders 200 miles away. Phone numbers for the students parents who are driving and chaperoning are a must. Each parent is taking several students as well in their own vehicles. With a convoy this size and spread out the adults do not have time to email each other while driving or an emergency. Phone numbers are part of it.

This is something you will have to resolve with the school or teacher.

The technical support answer was given before I entered the discussion. Please review SravanKrA's post. It's the first answer.

You want a technological solution to a problem that isn't a technological problem. You want to text someone who, for whatever reasons, does not want to give you their mobile number. Unless you can convince the, preferably politely, to do so, you can't message them.
