Sending SMS to an email address on 8125--is there a crack?

Does anyone know if there's a way to enable sending emails via the SMS app on the 8125 (without using 36245 as the email address)? If you try to send an SMS to an email (not a phone number), the app tells you it's not allowed. Several of us would like to be able to "chat" via sms with people on BlackBerries (for example) or 2-way pagers that aren't addressable as cell phones. Most other phones allow this, but Cingular has disabled it on the 8125. It certainly works on Cing treos. Doesnt work on 8125 with orig ROM or Summiter's excellent ROM upgrade.
Anyone know if this is a registry edit, or would it require a seperate program? Anyone able and willing to post a solution?

omg i just realized it's not letting me send sms to email addresses either >< I used to use send sms to emails all the time on my treo too >< ahhhh ~ any fixes please

You can always send MMS to email addresses with just text.
I'm curious in today's age why you need to send SMS to email addresses, probably same reason MSFT didn't include it. Can you elaborate more??
There is cross operability with all carriers for text messages so you can just put in the phone number of any mobile device and it'll work.
All Blackberries that are less than 3 years old support SMS over the phone # assigned.
I understand the issue for 2-way pagers but why can't you just send a quick email?

There's a need for SMS to 2-way pagers because sending an SMS is faster to create and send...since email requires a logon and data connection. SMS is the easier way to go if you want to "chat"

Send an SMS to 121
The first thing in the body of the message should be the e-mail address with the subject immediately after, in parentheses. Then a space, then your message. Example: to send an e-mail to [email protected] with a subject of 'billing question' and the body 'Please contact me via phone to discuss my recent bill' you would send the following to 121
[email protected](billing question) Please contact me via phone to discuss my recent bill
Voila!

I won't speak for the original poster, but I'll elaborate with my reason: I'm not an email/internet/IM junkie, and I don't need all that for work, so I don't have a data plan for my 8125 in order to use the real email capability. But, I do have the 100 SMS msg pack on my plan, and I occasionally need to send a quick email to someone when I'm away from the computer and only have my phone. I used this capability on my Nokia6800 all the time, and apparently the Nokia software took care of the special formatting, since all I had to do on it was type in (or select from Contacts) the email address, the subject, and the message. When I started searching today on this issue, I hoped there was a more elegant solution, but I'm perfectly happy with the instructions for a specially formatted SMS message (as long as I can remember them when I need to send an email). I just figured out that I can copy/paste an email address from Contacts, which I suppose will be better than trying to rember one and having to type it, so that's not too bad.
If I really needed to use email a lot from my phone, I guess I'd give in and pay for a data plan, but for now, this SMS trick works just fine.
Edit: almost forgot to say thanks to Hosehead for the tip. Much obliged.

Using Cingular this did not work...

Worked just fine through Cingular for me when I tried it this afternoon. The email I received looked just like the ones I used to send with my Nokia.

Has worked fine for me since I got my 8125. I recommend making sure you have a new "3G" sim, I know some of the older ones restricted SMS e-mail.

It works for me!
I sent the first test to my work e-mail. Apparently the SPAM filters didn't like it.
Second test to personal e-mail worked like a charm. This is nice to know.

well holy shi** i didn't even know you could do that. it had never even crossed my mind that SMS connected to e-mail
brilliant, johnson. brilliant!

I've sent email with mine through text before...
I was messing around with it when I setup my gmail account to forward me emails through text...

not working for me..
Hmm.. this is not working for me on Tmobile with an MDA.. Has anyone had any success with tmobile?

Provide more info. What ROM are you using? When did the problems start? Etc...

it started when i first got the phone with the stock rom and also on my current Touch X 10.9.1 rom. i also had this problem when i had a tytn2 but i never was able to fix it

Can you even access your email via POP3/IMAP from a free Yahoo account. It's been my understanding that you need to upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus.

well i can send and revieve fine on my ipod touch with the same accounts so i guess its possible. I can recieve i just cant send. maybe i need to change the incoming and outgoing settings?

MMS fix for boost mobile

Okay I may have a mms fix for boost, but it is in .cab format and I'm not sure how or if I can use it. any ideas will help.

APN Settings for MMS on Boost
I'm currently running Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS12] on my Vogue, on Boost Mobile's network, and I am able to send MMS by attaching picture files in text messaging. The only settings I changed were in the default APN:
MMSC: mm.myboostmobile.com (add http: and // in front. Since this is my first post I'm not allowed to post URLs )
MMS port: 80
No other changes to the APN settings are necessary to send MMS.
I'm pretty sure that it's impossible to receive an actual MMS on Boost's network. You will get the text message with a link to the Media Mail page (which never works, at least for me).

Can you share your cab? I'd like to try and could prolly use it, since I'm running a Touch Pro2 WinMo 6.5 and XDAndroid. Thanks

Can someone please help me? I used the mm.myboostmobile.com and get a 'error-permanent-system failure' when getting receiving pic mail but could send. Also, my hubby who uses a Boost BB gets a blank message. So I used pcs-boost-mmsc-submit.sun3.lightsurf.net. and I was able to not send media mail but receive it without any problems. I have an energy ROM and using the Arcsoft MMS version you have above. This is so ridiculous. Do I have to use mms program specially for my Sense Energy CRX ROM or what? I do not understand what's wrong with this? Is it because I have an Energy ROM?

Text and picture message on BoostMobile
Text and picture messaging on BoostMobile is no longer working. Anyone out there has a fix for it?
"mm.myboostmobile.com" is no longer working.

Just keep waiting and testing it out, it's not device specific it appears to be network and location specific, read more here: "http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1721560-New-Boost-Mobile-MMS-Settings"

I haven't had a chance to dig my vogue out and try this, but I was thinking you guys might want to grap the mms.apk file from the shabbymod Rom for the Prevails and see if allows MMS texts to pass on through as normal.

Sipdroid

Ok, I have sipdroid installed and it's working for outgoing calls. I have it linked to my GV account. Here is something strange though. I received a call on my Streak 7. But how? I mean what # did they dial? If you dial my GV # it rings on my cell phone so I'm trying to figure out how this call got routed to my streak 7 and what # they called to reach it.
How do you receive calls with sipdroid? What # does the person dial?

If you have the Streak number synced with your GV then when they dial that number (GV) then it will ring on any phone/device that is linked to it.

That's the thing.. My streak doesnt have a number. I'm not using a dataplan. Only wifi. My Google Voice account is actually linked to my cell phone # which is a mytouch 4g. When you call my gv # it doesn't ring on my streak, it rings on my mytouch4g. So I'm not really sure how I got this call

Ask the caller?
By calling your PBXES.org extension they can reach you too.

I remeber it is [email protected] ... which is odd, and I never tried if I can reach myself by "calling" that thing..

On your gv account you need to have it forward to your gtalk acct...

Guide
I keep seeing people saying they've set up their Streak 7 to make calls, (both incoming and outgoing) whether it be with Sipdroid or CSIPsimple. Thats great and all, but could somebody PLEASE help me out with a GUIDE that will EXPLAIN or SHOW how to do all of this. I think that's whats so frustrating for people. How do you do it??

follow the instructions on this link it will help you a lot. Fortunately I signed up to gizmo5 when the service was available. If you have any questions fell free to pm me.

go to your google voice settings, its in there, you have your GV forwarding to your cell.

I installed "Dialer One," "Google Voice," and "Sipdroid."
Dialer one is the default dialer which has the ability to add a shortcut to the homescreen....
Google voice is the number that I call from. Sometimes you see the "calling" GV feature thing crash, then Sipdroid takes over and makes the call...
I've run in circles with this thing as well. The reason I am telling you this is because I uninstalled all of the other apps and dialers, etc..
I DO have Google talk installed as well, but not sure if that affects anything. Sorry couldn't be more help right now.. It's a confusing cycle. Lol. Good luck.
(((( Outgoing calls show up as coming from my GV # )))
(((( Incoming calls only occur when someone calls my cell and they're forwarded to my tablet--- SOMEHOW-- WITHOUT forwarding setup. )))))

Hmmm... Let me see if I can help here.
1. You need to have a google voice account.
1.1 you google voice account setting: main forwarding: gchat has to be selected
1.2 do not choose call screening option (at least initially to get things work)
2. install Sipdroid on your device
2.1 click the "link with your google voice option on main page of sipdroid right after you installed it"
2.2 in Sipdroid setup, you will need to create an account with some provider like mine is pbxes.org
3. Have an account with pbxes.org (or maybe other service provider. but mine is with pbxes.org)
3.1 under extension: you should already have an sipdroid <200> (the extension number may be different , but this number MUST be the number in your sipdroid settings account field as "[email protected]" where 200 is the extension number
3.2 under inbound routing, you need to have a default routing which is "/"
click "/", you will see "sipdroid <200>" appear in various section, mainly "regular hours", "after hours", but there is one click which is "force regular hours", can help you simplify the setup initially to get things "work"
3.3 under outbound routing, you should see a "0 gtalk" routing trunk.
within the section, route name: gtalk
trunk sequence: 0 "GTALK/[email protected]"
4. In your sipdroid setting on your device, double check the username: [email protected]
password, your pbxes.org password.
Hope it can help in some way. Post your questions here and I will try to answer.
Cheers,

Thanks, got it now thanks to your excellent write-up. The order in which you do the above steps is of utmost importance.

did you really have to post this issue in every one of the of threads on sipdroid? I think once in your [Q] making calls over 4g is sufficient

from what i remember of mms i think you do
some service providers use a different one for mms to your normal browsing
others use one for everything so it doesn't affect your settings
