AT&T is Killing Email-to-Text

The Free Feature Will Be Gone by June 2025

AT&T is shutting down its long-standing email-to-text and text-to-email functionality, which allowed users to send SMS or MMS via email and vice versa. While T-Mobile and Verizon still offer the feature, AT&T has quietly updated its support page, confirming that it will discontinue the service on June 17, 2025. The change means users will no longer be able to email AT&T phone numbers using "@txt.att.net" for SMS or "@mms.att.net" for MMS. FirstNet, AT&T Business, and Cricket Wireless customers will also be affected. AT&T has yet to provide an official announcement, but it’s likely citing low usage as the reason for the shutdown. For those who relied on this free feature, now is the time to explore alternatives like Twilio. With no formal statement from AT&T, this quiet removal might catch some users off guard—consider this your early warning.
