Sending Gmail To Your Mobile Phone
Mark Fleming | Contributing Writer | 2005-03-25
Did you know you can have Gmail forward your new mail to your mobile
phone? It's very simple, and takes just minutes to set up. Don't want
all your email sent? Apply a filter to what you send.
To get started, go to your Google Settings page and click on
Forwarding and Pop. Here you tell Google where to forward your email.
The normal use of this field is to forward email to another email
address.
Well, each phone capable of text-messaging actually has an "email
address" to which you can send a message. It is the
10digitphonenumber@service-provider-text-messaging-domain. Each
service provider has it's own domain name for this. For example,
Verizon's is vtext.com. So, you'd set your forwarding to
10digitphonenumber@Vext.com, as in this screen capture:
You can filter your email before it is sent. You can filter out mail,
or filter in mail. Click on the Filter link to build what you need.
It's pretty easy to follow.
This forwarding is probably not something you would want to use all
the time, unless you get very little email, but I could see where it
would be good for special situations. You could turn it on when you go
away from your computer for an extended period are don't want to miss
an email. You could set it up to deliver mail from just family or
certain friends. Or, as I was just thinking as I was writing this, I
could set it to deliver only stock buy/sell alerts all the time, to
make sure I don't miss anything important.
As you were reading this, you probably already realized that you can
do this with any email program that allows forwarding.
