How does it work?

    1. Send an email

    Use any email platform like Outlook or Gmail to compose your message. Just enter the recipient’s mobile number followed by our SMS gateway domain ([email protected]).

    2. We convert it to a text

    Our platform receives your email and converts it into a text message, optimised for fast delivery and readability.

    3. Your message is delivered

    The SMS is sent directly to the recipient’s phone. Replies come straight back to your email inbox, so you can keep the conversation going.

    Why combine email with SMS?

    Email to SMS brings the reliability of email and the immediacy of SMS into one simple workflow. Whether you’re sending reminders, alerts or urgent updates, this approach helps your messages get delivered, seen and acted on.

    Extend your reach

    Make sure your important messages land where they’ll be read. Email to SMS helps you connect with mobile users who may not be checking their inbox.

    Boost engagement

    SMS gets opened. With up to 98 percent open rates, you’ll see faster responses and more interaction compared to email alone.

    Escalate when it matters

    Use SMS to follow up on unanswered emails or send urgent messages that can’t wait. It’s ideal for time-sensitive updates and critical alerts.

    Keep using your email tools

    There’s no need to change platforms. You can send and receive SMS directly from Outlook, Gmail or any other email service.

    Start real conversations

    Unlike one-way notifications, Email to SMS lets you receive replies in your inbox. It opens the door to real, two-way engagement.

    Unify your communication

    Bring email and SMS together in a single, familiar workflow. It’s the smart way to manage customer conversations, staff updates and more.
