you will be using internet data to send the Email

this will NOT be FREE

Only the initial text you receive will be free

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.

This works on an HTC smartphone with verizon.

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

thank you I tried it and it worked.

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.

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.

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.
