How to email MMS to phone?
I'm new to T-Mobile, but I've Googled this question and read to use my phone number with @tmomail.net as the address to send to my phone. Every time I try, it comes back with the 550 error. W...
I use Gmail. I was previously with AT&T, and created a contact called "My
Cell phone" with the email phonenumber@txt.att.net. This worked for years.
When I switched to T-Mobile, I changed the contact email to
phonenumber@tmomail.net.
This is where the problem started. Even though I changed the address, it
would not work. I've since deleted the contact and used
phonenumber@tmomail.net, and it works now. Thanks for the update.

Just tried it on my Google 6a (contract from Tmobile) and it works with my Gmail account but not with my Yahoo Mail (basic) account
this has been a problem for years, I used to use it all the time with YM and then it just suddenly stopped working, I never bothered to figure out what was going on with it but now I transfer more work between my desktop and my phone so I want to use it more often. Def works fine.
YM just doesn't get much respect in the ionosphere. Lucky that corporate email servers still take it.
I do not want to rely on Gmail because Google is too greedy. They want ALL my personal info and all my network traffic.
I have had a few clients over the past 10 years that used email-based apps and I had to use Gmail with them, also some other server-side apps that also worked with Gmail but not YM. Otherwise I would never use it. But no matter what you use they're going to try to lock you into it.
