Can not receiving sms/mms from gmail but mms messages from other providers OK

George_in_Nashua

Up till a week back I was able to send sms/mms gmails to my Samsung S6 but recently it stopped working. I tried a different email provider and vzwpics works as expected.

Is there a way to get the gmail method of sending a mms message to the phone to work again?

Hey, George. Please allow me a moment to research this. I'll be back.

Thanks for waiting. This is what I found:

Open your texting app on your phone.
In the recipient field, enter an email address where you would normally type in a phone number.
Write your message as normal and send it. Your cell phone provider will convert your message into an email.

Please provide an example of adding an email address to receive an email SMS

Unfortunately, the agents responding here are not understanding the issue being reported. Possibly it isn't clear enough, but as reported in MANY other threads, emails from gmail to Verizon number at VTEXT.COM or VZWPIX.COM are NOT consistently delivered to Verizon phones as sms/mms text messages . Emails from other email services DO get delivered to Verizon phones correctly. Here is a screenshot of the Verizon Support FAQ which is not working from GMAIL consistently:

The link info requires a Google Fi number. Are you suggesting that I switch my cell service from Verizon to Google Fi in order to use an email to text service? It is disappointing and frustrating that Verizon is now enforcing a data use agreement that they ignored for 10 years and require an expensive service subscription to get @VTEXT.com to work.
