My carrier is Sprint, and this is how it works: <10-digit-number>@messaging.sprintpcs.com Two things to note: I receive only 126 or 127 characters when I send from my gmail address. The subject is counted among those characters, and that includes "Subject: ", so you can send more if you have no subject at all. I wonder if the "From:" field or the "To:" field are being counted and that is why I only get 126 characters. I seem to be coming up about 30 characters short of what they promised. Mike
