text to email address???

Yes, and the reverse also works. It can be clumsy trying to read a text to email message. I don't know if you mean forwarding in its strict sense... my messages come directly.

I received a text message and want to forward it using gmail to friends that want to know the information but do not use text messages on their dumb phones.

a) open/view your text message
b) place finger on message body
c) menu should come up.. choose forward
d) enter email addy

voila.

This works on an HTC smartphone with verizon.

You may also have to school your dumb-phone friends on reading it.

I'm sure that they can. I e-mail my step-son's phone to text him, and he replies so it would seem that you can send a text to an e-mail address.

yes. and if you know the recipient is also a Verizon user you can e-mail to 1234567890@vtext.com where 1234567890 is their mobile number.

you will be using internet data to send the Email

this will NOT be FREE

Only the initial text you receive will be free

That would be ok as I would send to our email address and forward it on. I have enough data to not make a difference as it would just be not done very often. thanks everybody.
