Is email to SMS/text supported?
I would like to send a scheduled email (can't send scheduled text) unfortunately because I am unable to send the text in the morning and for other logistic reasons.
I know Rogers has retired this feature. Not sure about Telus or Bell.

Personally, I think keeping this service alive would be a great move, especially since iPhones still don't have a way to schedule SMS. While rooted Androids have some workarounds, iOS is completely locked out.
Banning URLs within the text is perfect and blocking all URLs from SMS entirely would wipe out a huge amount of phishing and scams. But it all this costs the carriers money...

It is technically still available, though what was said in FuzzyLogic's link still holds true. It's still technically supported in a limited capacity in the following format: [email protected] though of note, virtually all URLs are automatically blocked due to propensity for spam and/or malicious content. Attachments are also not allowed.

Unfortunately in my tests it didn't work for me. I tried both HTML and Plain Text formatting sending from Outlook:-(

That article was from +/- 2 years ago so it's possible that the service is no longer offered.

I'm trying to find a confirmation since I can't find anything in our data base regarding this service.

Hello Dwayne888, I'm not finding anything regarding this option and I remember that we had a section about it few years ago. I'll try to find an official answer for you and for now I would say that it's not available anymore.
