There are lots of times when I want to send myself a snippet of info to my phone, like an address, someone’s phone number, or a reminder. I have a hard time remembering by mms address, though, so I created a gmail filter to forward messages to my phone. This is nice because I can give it to my friends, too, and tell them to just email [email protected] to send a message directly to my phone when they don’t have my number or their cell phone handy.
Here’s what I did:
In gmail, go to Settings > Filters > Create a new filter.
In the To: field, enter your gmail address with a +m (or whatever) before the @ sign.
Click Next step, and choose the following options:
Forward to: your sms/mms address
Apply the label: mobile (this is optional)
Skip the inbox (also up to you)
Save the filter.
Your mms address consists of your folder @ one of the domain names listed below, depending on your provider:
| provider | sms | mms |
| Cingular | cingularme.com | mms.mycingular.com |
| Verizon | vtext.com | vzwpix.com |
| AT&T | mmode.com | mmode.com |
| Nextel | messaging.nextel.com | messaging.nextel.com |
| Sprint | messaging.sprintpcs.com | messaging.sprintpcs.com |
| T-mobile | tmomail.net | tmomail.net |
