How to send Gmail to your mobile phone

From TechnologicalWiki

You can redirect your new mail Gmail to your mobile phone. You have to go to your Google Settings page and click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Here you tell Google where to forward your email. The normal use of this field is to forward email to another email address.

Well, each phone capable of text-messaging actually has an “email address” to which you can send a message. It is the 10digitphonenumber@service-provider-text-messaging-domain. Each service provider has its own domain name for this. For example, Verizon’s is vtext.com. So, you’d set your forwarding to 10digitphonenumber@Vext.com, as in this screen capture:

If you don’t want all your email sent you can apply a filter to what you send. You can filter your email before it is sent. You can filter out mail, or filter in mail. Click on the Filter link to build what you need.

This forwarding is probably not something you would want to use all the time, unless you get very little email, but I could see where it would be good for special situations. You could turn it on when you go away from your computer for an extended period are don’t want to miss an email. You could set it up to deliver mail from just family or certain friends. Or, as I was just thinking as I was writing this, I could set it to deliver only stock buy/sell alerts all the time, to make sure I don’t miss anything important. As you were reading this, you probably already realized that you can do this with any email program that allows forwarding.
