AT&T announces end of Email-to-Text
April 8, 2025
What is Email-to-Text?
Email-to-Text is the ability to send an email from TopView that is received as a text message by the recipient.
With AT&T, you do this by sending an email from TopView to an email address which is the recipient’s 10-digit wireless number, followed by @txt.att.net or @mms.att.net.
For example, 5551234567@txt.att.net or 5551234567@mms.att.net.
What is changing?
Email-to-Text is a free service through AT&T. Over the years we have noticed (through an increased number of support tickets) that these free services from AT&T and others have become unreliable.
On March 25th, 2025, AT&T announced that it will no longer provide this service starting June 17, 2025.
