What is a vText Message?
Verizon vText (also known as Email2SMS) is a service that allows you to send text messages to Verizon wireless customers via email. By using a specific email format, you can send a message to a Verizon phone number without using a traditional text messaging app.
To use this service, you must input the following email format:
For example, if the phone number is 555-123-4567, the email address to send the SMS would be 5551234567@vText.com.
When you sent an email to this address, it would be delivered as an SMS message to the recipient's Verizon phone. This service was often used for sending email SMS alerts or notifications directly to someone's mobile device.
Recent Changes to Verizon's vText Service
As of late 2024, Verizon has made significant changes to its messaging services, including the shutdown of the Verizon wireless vText email gateway. If you’re noticing that Verizon vText is not working, it’s because Verizon has discontinued this service. This change has impacted many users who depended on this service for their messaging needs.
