SMS / Texting to Email Service
Can I send an email message to a non-PNCC cellular phone?
Sending an email message to a non-PNCC cellular phone is dependent on the designated
cellular service provider of that cellular. You need to contact the person you want
to send a message to and ask them to find out from their cellular service provider
if such a service is offered and, if so, what email address you should enter into
the "To" section of your email message header.
