What is email-to-text?

Email-to-text is the ability to send a text or image to any device via email. It is an email sent using your mobile number's email address (e.g. 5555555555@vtext.com or 5555555555@vzpix.com). The service is not intended for commercial or emergency purposes. It is intended for low-volume consumer use only.

If I don鈥檛 want email-to-text, how do I turn it off?

You can turn email-to-text off by texting Off to 4040.

What if I have turned off email-to-text and realize I receive important messages this way?

You can turn email-to-text back on by texting On to 4040.

Will I miss out on receiving any important messages by opting out of email-to-text?

Although most messages sent via email-to-text are from spammers, some lawful businesses and other organizations may still use email-to-text to send legitimate messages to their customers. Despite that, email-to-text is not intended for business messages.
