Forward SMS to your email inbox.

Get a phone number and read every text it receives in your inbox. Each text arrives as an email with the sender, your Tether Mobile number and the full message.

Example: a text from ParcelPost to +44 7700 900123 (United Kingdom), forwarded to Email. Numbers and senders are fictional.

Connect Email in a few steps.

Choose your number and plan first. Then connect Email from your Tether Mobile dashboard.

  1. Add your email address

    In your Tether Mobile dashboard, enter the address where texts should arrive.

  2. Confirm the address

    Open the verification link we send to that address.

  3. Read texts in your inbox

    New texts arrive as emails with the subject “SMS from” and the sender.

Good to know.

  • Replying to a forwarded email doesn’t reach the sender. Tether Mobile forwards incoming texts only.
  • Anyone who can open the inbox can read forwarded texts, including codes. Use an address only you control.
  • Add Tether Mobile to your contacts so forwarded texts don’t land in spam.

Frequently asked questions

Which email address can I use?

Any address you can open. Texts start arriving once you confirm it from the link we send.

Can I use Email with other destinations?

Yes. Connect up to 3 destinations from Email, Telegram, LINE and Discord, and each text goes to all of them.

Will verification codes reach me in Email?

If a service texts the code to your Tether Mobile number, it arrives like any other text. The service compatibility page shows which services send codes to which numbers.

How quickly do texts reach Email?

Tether Mobile forwards each text as soon as your number receives it.

Which countries can I get a number in?

Numbers in the US (real mobile numbers), Canada, the UK and the Netherlands. Need another country? Request a country and we’ll email you when we add it.

How long does it take to get my number?

Most activations take a minute or two. We email you when your number is ready.

Do you keep my texts?

Only long enough to deliver them. About an hour after a text reaches your destinations, we delete it, including our copy of the carrier’s notification. If a delivery fails, we keep the text for retries and delete it within 7 days. We never sell your data or use your texts for advertising. Read the privacy policy for the details.

Your texts, in Email.

Each text arrives as its own email.
