WHY AN I GETTING SMS FROM T-MOBILE AS WEIRD EMAILS? * Thread starter Decoherent * Start date Nov 11, 2016 Jump to latest Follow Reply Status Not open for further replies. ••• MORE OPTIONS Who Replied? DECOHERENT ARS TRIBUNUS ANGUSTICLAVIUS 21y 7,659 Subscriptor++ Nov 11, 2016 #1 * Nov 11, 2016 * Add bookmark * * #1 My mother switched over to T-Mobile about a week ago, and her text messages have been really weird and annoying. Some of them still come as a standard SMS, but a solid majority are these bizarre emails from (hernumber)@tmomail.net. I see that the other recipients are (their phone)@tmomail.net with my actual email address as the final recipient; they contain the text of the SMS, a footer that says "This message was sent to you by a T-Mobile phone", then the text of the message again in an attachment named "text_0.txt". What the heck is going on here?! ••• MORE OPTIONS Report Add bookmark Share Quote Report S SECRETMANOFAGENT ARS PRAEFECTUS 14y 5,404 Nov 12, 2016 #2 * Nov 12, 2016 * Add bookmark * * #2 https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3309 > Text messaging (SMS) is a two-way mobile messaging service that allows you to > send and receive short text and email messages on text-capable devices.
