I don’t know what it’s like in Canada, but in the US tons of people use MVNOs instead of straight subscribing to one of the big 3 carriers, so guessing what the domain name for each one, or getting everybody to text your email so you can find out, is just tedious.
There used to be a time where you could email PhoneNumber@carrier.com
no clue if that still works or even if that was an actual thing and not a fever dream
I use that for my NAS to “text” my phone if the power goes out and it shuts down gracefully on the UPS.
This is what I currently use since it’s free.
I don’t understand why people in this thread try to send sms through the mobile network, I’m confused.
Is this not available outside Canada?
