OnTime courier software makes it possible to send text messages to your driver’s phone or pager using “email to SMS gateway”. This saves you money by not having to pay big SMS sending fees. The question often comes up of what email address to use. Usually the address is the ten digit phone number followed by the domain of the mobile service provider. For instance, an address for an AT&T device might look something like this:

5417721234@txt.att.net

You can find a comprehensive list of carriers and their email to SMS gateway addresses here:

If you still have trouble locating the correct email address, just contact your mobile service provider and they should be able to assist you with that.

Finally, don’t forget to test the address before you go into production with that phone. Try it in OnTime and also try simply sending an email to that address, ensuring that it goes through without a problem.
