Default email to a cell phone as text msg?

Is it possible to create an email in OE6 and send it to a cell phone as text
msg? If so, how do you do that?

No. OE can only send a message to an email address.

It depends on the wireless provider of the person you want to send to. If
you want to send to an AT&T user, you can use OE and enter the 10 digit
phone number in the To field. Eg:



If you are sending to a Verizon user, you want this Webpage.

Visit the Websites of the wireless companies in question to get full
details. And they all have a character limit, (including spaces). AT&T is
160 characters.

The issue with sending a text to a cell phone is that the e-mail address
is dependent on the carrier.

The easiest way to do this is have the cell phone send a text message to
your e-mail address. Then look at the FROM address for that message.
