To send a text message from an e-mail account to an ACS wireless subscriber:*

SMS (Text messaging) email address 10digitPhoneNumber@txt.acsalaska.net
MMS (Multimedia messaging) email address 10digitPhoneNumber@mms.acsalaska.net

ACS phones' e-mail addresses are the 10-digit phone number followed by @txt.acsalaska.net (e.g. 9075638000@txt.acsalaska.net). Use this as you would any other email address.

*Text messaging requires two-way, short-text messaging capable phone. All messages are limited to 140 characters. ACS makes every effort to deliver your text message addressed to subscribers of other wirelss carriers. Once your message leaves our network, we can make no guarantee that it will be properly delivered.

**International numbers require additional digits - country and city codes.
