Can you text with an email address?

Send a text, picture, or video message directly to an email address. You can compose a new message and enter an email address instead of a wireless number. You can also reply to a text, picture, or video message sent from an email address.

Why am I getting emails on my text messages?

It's called spam... it's coming to you as an SMS message through your cellular carrier's email to text gateway. If you do not need to receive SMS messages from email accounts (some automated alerting systems may use this method), then contact your carrier and ask them to disable that at their gateway.

Can I send an email to a phone number?

Sending an email to a phone number is the same as writing any other email. All you need to know is the recipient's gateway address. If you know which mobile network they connect to, finding out their address shouldn't be a problem.
