Email to text/sms sender name
Email to text/sms messages used to always come in where the originating phone number was actually the sender email address in the message thread. Each email address would be a separate message thread...
There are a number of different means to send SMS from other than a cellphone. For instance, those sent through Koodo’s system arrive as MMS, while those through Telus’ arrive as SMS. There are (or were) text gateways which allowed one to enter a text to a user through a web page as well. Additionally, texts sent through VoIP suppliers (Fongo, etc.) may use other formats.

Community Power UserMy recollection is these messages came to me from (999]999-9999 for many years now. Possibly it depends on which interface the sender uses? I know Telus and Koodo each have different implementations of email to SMS, and can be used interchangeably by subscribers to either service.
Hey, thanks for the reply!
What do you mean by interface when you say "it depends on the interface that the sender uses"?
