| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | MsI53 | 5/28/10 8:05 PM | The code is cut off because the email is too long for the text character limit. There have been a bunch of complaints about this and I flagged it for the engineers last week, but I get the sense that because SMS is not supported, it is not going to b |

| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | garygliu1 | 5/28/10 9:09 PM | I'm also having trouble with this issue. Google recently implemented the verification feature for forwarding e-mail. I should have signed up for an e-mail account before that happened. Looks like I'll have to switch to a different e-mail provider. By |

| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | Jack LoPinto | 6/7/10 8:58 PM | Hey Forum, I have also a Hot mail account that used to work with my Verizon phone. I guess the issue is whether or not the email provider supports SMS. So could I just forward my emails from my Gmail account to Hot mail (another prominent int |
| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | MsI53 | 6/8/10 7:33 AM | My understanding is that hotmail does not support forwarding. But I could be confusing it with yahoo. Easiest way to find out is to try to set it up and see if it's possible. |

| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | Branden B | 6/22/10 12:41 PM | If you have a Verizon phone and unlimited text and picture messaging, then use [yournumber]@http://vzwpix.com instead of @http://vtext.com. This will send you a picture message instead of a text message. This way the confirmation code will show up. Also, using you |
| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | MsI53 | 6/22/10 2:17 PM | Good to know it works for Verizon. Previous suggestions to use the equivalent were fruitless for people with other carriers; they received messages with codes that weren't clickable links and so they still couldn't use them. Thanks for the update! |
| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | Branden B | 6/22/10 3:28 PM | Ms153 - Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly but I did not receive a clickable link either.

| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | MsI53 | 6/22/10 4:12 PM | I think some people had said that although they received the code by using the MMS domain, they still couldn't get it to work. I honestly don't recall; I'd have to search them out. What they've all done is use a third party service as an intermediary |

| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | MsI53 | 6/28/10 10:48 AM | So far the only answer seems to be a third party service. A number of people have created accounts at http://gawab.com and most say it's working fine. I did see one complaint about inconsistency, but it was the only one. |
| Re: I am trying to set up "forwarding" new incoming emails to my mobile phone. | robertey | 6/28/10 11:24 AM | Use the MMS address suffix instead of the SMS address suffix. Mine is @http://vmpix.com for Virgin Mobile. |
