Other text messaging topics
Text Messaging E-Mail Address
When you don't have access to a computer or it's inconvenient to place a phone call, you can send, receive and reply to e-mails using Text Messaging directly from your U.S. Cellular wireless phone.
Included with any Text Messaging plan, you also automatically receive a text messaging e-mail address to send, receive and reply to e-mail via text message. Your text messaging e-mail address is your 10-digit wireless phone number followed by @email.uscc.net (i.e. 6305551212@email.uscc.net) which can be used the same way you use your other e-mail addresses. When you want to send a text message to an e-mail address, simply enter the recipient's e-mail address in the "To" field. Outgoing messages and replies are charged as text messages. All incoming messages are FREE and UNLIMITED.
For messages sent to or from an e-mail address, there is a 400-character limit per message, and messages may be divided into separately delivered segments of approximately 120 characters.
International Text Messaging
Send and receive texts from over 100 countries right from your wireless phone at competitive prices.
Premium Messaging Content
Premium Messaging Content programs are sponsored and run by third parties. These programs vary in price and content, but the most common allow you to vote on television programs, sign up for text alerts or participate in chat services.
