Comment on E-mail anyone via their phone number

So, does this actually do anything? I've tried twice and not seen anything on the phone end . . . .

Blocked the email-to-SMS gateway at your carrier? I did that years ago since I don't pay for unlimited SMS (which I consider a massive scam) and don't want to get dinged because I get charged for inbound (also a massive scam, thanks US carriers).

You get charged for inbound?

I've had mobiles in some 15+ countries and that's the first I've heard of being charged for inbound texts. Definitely a rip!

Yes - all major US carries do this as far as I know. AT&T and Verizon for sure (unless you pay $30/month for unlimited SMS)

It only works with U.S. mobile phone numbers right now, sorry!

Umm, I'm in the U.S. Texas to be specific with a U.S. Phone number.

Just sent an email to the connect email address with more details.
