I've used the email option as well, here are some of the direct addresses.  As with Verizon and AT&T, put the telephone # before the remainder.

Note: Many cell phone carriers allocate e-mail addresses to their customers' phone numbers to enable them receive e-mail text messages. If you know the carrier of the cell phone you want to send text messages to, you can use it instead of the teleflip.com domain name. Here are the domain names of some of the more popular carriers:

• Alltel: @message.alltel.com
• Nextel: @messaging.nextel.com
• Sprint: @messaging.sprintpcs.com
• SunCom: @tms.suncom.com
• T-mobile: @tmomail.net
• VoiceStream: @voicestream.net
• Verizon: @vtext.com (text only) or @vzwpix.com (photos and video) [source: Slipstick Systems].

Not sure if she’s tried this already, but our local Tobii rep often suggests texting through email.

 

For Verizon, xxxxxx@vtext.com

For AT&T, xxxxxx@txt.att.net

 

Hope this helps!

Hello ATers,

 

I have a client with ALS successfully using an IBM Thinkpad with Windows 10 and the Tobii 4C eye gaze access.  She loves the ease of the system and uses it for communication, web surfing etc but the one thing she wants to be able to do is text her husband and family – except her cell phone is an iPhone.

 

Other than changing over to Android or using WhatsApp, anyone know of any other interfaces to do this function? She’s hesitant to learn another phone operating system (and I can’t blame her) and would like to somehow integrate these two pieces of technology.

 

As always, I grateful for any help.

 

Regards,

Alisa
