Texting, Not Emailing Sandy

You can also use Twitter to send direct tweets to Sandy. Or use Jott to speak your instructions (I find this method especially useful).

Although I agree that a more direct method of sending text messages to Sandy is needed.

Yeah, a more direct sms method is needed. You can't do everything through texting that you can through standard email. Like when you try to reply to an sms message you received. Sandy receives that message as a brand new one (not linked to the one you received). Makes it hard to tag todos with @done, etc.

HELP!!! I need Sandy to accept Texts.
OR AT THE VERY LEAST ADD a THIRD EMAIL to the account so that I can use the texting email that came with my service provider e.g. xxx-xxx-xxxx@txt.att.net

The presently alloted two emails are being taken up by my Personal email address and my Work email address. I need a way to text her.

What Thunderboy said--I'd like to add my txt.att.net address as a third one.

i agree, having my phone set up as an email is very helpful.

Here is an idea if you already have your two available e-mails used up
First we are going to assume that atleast one of these is a gmail account.
Well go to your gmail account and create a filter. Do "filter by - From:(your ten digit cell number@(carrierspecific domiain)" click next and then tell the filter to Forward to your sandy e-mail account.
For example i have a g-mail filter to send all messages from 4173490000@message.alltel.com to xxxx@iwantsandy.com

now i can txt my google account the reply to my iwantsandy message, and she will get it as an e-mail from gmail.

you can set up more specific filters for a more powerful experience and yes i realize that this reply e-mail isnt attached to the txt she sent you so @done wont work well (dev team should be thinking about this)

Twitter does this, it really does work.

The programmers for this service have been smart to not duplicate work other people have already done for them. Try out Twitter, you'll be surprised at how easy it is!

Thanks PrimalOne,
I was ecstatic at your suggestion in what should have been an obvious solution and set about trying this that I had not thought of before, and thanks for putting this plug in our heads; However, in practice, it didn't work for me... For some crazy reason, my Gmail is not forwarding to Sandy... I have tried everything but the filter mechanism won't forward to Sandy...its not making sense why...I know and yet....
But it just won't forward...period. I get the email to myself in my inbox, but it doesn't go any further than that. No word yet on whether it is only opposed to sandy or if I tried to forward to another email if the same would happen. Haven't tried the latter.

But to recap, the filter forwarding mechanism isn't working for me. Alas! Back to the drawing board. One thing I need this texting thing for is that I park on the street and often forget where I parked the day before...lol. It has at times taken me upto an hour to find my car the next day and you can imagine how bad that could get when running to work...lol

it'd be awesome to be able to text sandy directly more easily, but the twitter method does work pretty well, so it might not be worth the trouble.
