SMS message sent via email bounced

Thanks for your feedback @shalvor

Have you tested the the email to text feature by using your 10-digit wireless number with @mms.att.net to see if the specific email can be sent?

@shalvor You can use the "SMS" version of this too, just replace "MMS" with "SMS", for the email destination.  This is assuming no "MMS content" however, mostly just alpha-numeric messages, but it seems to be a more stable interface...

Hello @shalvor

Thanks for your post.

We can help you send email-to text messages. Instead of xxxx@txt.att.net, use your 10-digit wireless number followed by @mms.att.net to send a message.

Thank you.  I'm more concerned about receipt of SMS emails as that is how my company pages us out.  My error message says "xxxxxxxxxx@txt.att.net> has restricted SMS e-mail".  How can I un-restrict it?

Thank you again for your assistance!

Thanks for the help, folks.  Very much appreciated.  

Hello @shalvor. You're welcome. Are you getting your work email-to-text now?

I finally got some folks at the AT&T Help Desk to assist.  It was discovered that the setting wasn't under "text messaging" in the AT&T Provisioning System, it was under "Email Gateway" in the AT&T Provisioning system.  Once she found that, she unchecked the block and my test message went through.  Thank you all again for trying to help!

Having a similar issue. When you say, "it was under "Email Gateway" in the AT&T Provisioning system. Once she found that, she unchecked the block and my test message went through," is this on the ATT internal side or in the phone? I am not receiving some safety alerts but others in my organization are. Mine show in the sender's system as "The txt.att.net server informed us that this message bounced." Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there, I will be more than happy to help you with all of your inquiries!

Do check the setting if your text messaging is turned on? Also is the AT&T Provisioning System, under "Email Gateway" in the AT&T Provisioning system or not?

Yes I tested @mms.att.net and same result: 505 5.1.1

As to the following, may you please elaborate as I do not understand the question? : "Do check the setting if your text messaging is turned on? Also is the AT&T Provisioning System, under "Email Gateway" in the AT&T Provisioning system or not?"

Is this not on AT&T's side? Or is there a setting to check in the phone?

Can you please elaborate as I do not understand the question?
