‹ Return to Messaging Overview
Communicate without making a sound
Text messaging lets you connect when a phone call isn’t the answer. And it works from any T-Mobile wireless phone.
Short and sweet
Fast and to the point, text messaging delivers with up to 160 characters to say your piece:
- Send and receive messages to and from any 10-digit wireless phone number.
- Send and receive messages from anyone with an e-mail address—your e-mail address is simply your 10-digit phone number at tmomail.net (for example, 1234567890@tmomail.net).
- Receive info alerts including horoscopes, sports scores, jokes, and more.
Options that suit your style
Text messaging is one more way you can customize your phone to your life. Send and receive messages for just $0.20 each or choose an unlimited messaging service to save even more—and if you don’t have an unlimited messaging service, it’s still just $0.20 per message sent or received.
When you’re outside of the US and want to text someone, international roaming rates apply.
Message Blocking
T-Mobile customers can block incoming and outgoing chargeable messages (including Text, Picture, IM and e-mail)
