Verizon or gmail bouncing email to phone

Ok, do me a solid. If you have a Verizon cell phone, use your computer -based email to send a brief message to yourphonenumber@vtext.com

thanks

Tried sending it 5 minutes ago. Haven't received anything yet on the phone.

I sent a message to my Verizon phone and it worked fine!

Thanks. Looks like it works for some. Weird. What email are you guys using? Mine is Gmail. I'm not sure if it's that or Verizon

I tried from gmail using my tablet, and received a text on my phone from Google voice with the text from the gmail I sent to my phone number

So it's working for me, I haven't used Vtext email option in about 9 years, maybe more, maybe 11 years, I forgot it was even available

I used gmail from a desktop, never got the message on my phone.

and you may get an error message later.

I used outlook and the message went through fine. Looks like it's Gmail. I've sent a screen shot of the error messages to their Feedback. Hope somebody reads it.

Well, how cool is that? It just worked for me using AOL mail (don't laugh!)

This could come in handy... :)

I use it for sending a grocery list to my phone, and conversing with the SO to her phone from my computer.

Now I'm wondering if people can do this to other providers like ATT/Sprint etc from gmail.
