Forwarding Email To Your Cell Phone

Introduction

There are certain circumstances under which you might like forwarding email from your inbox to your phone. This may be true if you have an email account that you set up for a special purpose and that does not overflow with mail. You may be away from your computer for an extended period of time because you are on holiday, or there may be certain alerts that you may want to be aware of and up to date with all the time, such as stock market updates or sports updates. Similarly, you may want email forwarding from just a few friends or family members. This article will list some ways in which you can implement email forwarding to your phone.

History

Perhaps you do not know that every phone number has a corresponding email address. This can be used for email forwarding. More often than not, the email address is the 10-digit phone number followed by the domain name of the mobile company. For example, if a number is 9876543210, and the service provider is Verizon, the address for email forwarding will be 9876543210@vtext.com.

To implement email forwarding, you need to set up a filter which will decide what type of emails to forward, depending on the sender, keywords or date. The action to be performed on these emails should be forwarding. Of you do not know how to implement email filtering and forwarding, it is recommended that you read up some articles on it. It will definitely be useful.

However, this service of corresponding email addresses with every number is not available in all countries.

Features

There are also other ways in which you can achieve email forwarding to your phone. One of these is to use the many applications available for the purpose.

You can use Push, which is an email client for phones. You could draw parallels with Outlook, which is the email client for Windows. You can download and install Push on your phone to access your email on your phone. Push works well, but it does not work with all phone models, and it requires a data plan. That means you will be charged for data usage.

TeleFlip, unlike Push, does not deliver all your email to your phone. It is a small, simple application used for forwarding email only under specified circumstances. It forwards email in text form.You can decide which emails you want forwarded. There is not software to install, and no data plan is required here. However, TeleFlip is only available in USA and Canada for now. What TeleFlip is similar to what has already been described here as email forwarding through filters. The only advantage is that it is automated.
