iPhone forward text message as email

whitecrook · 30 Mar 2011 at 09:07

Hi all

Does anyone know of an app or how I can forward an text message to an email address, other than copy and paste as that is not ideal. And the phone is not jailbroken so no Cydia apps etc

This is pretty basic functionality IMO

Regards.

im sure if you just put the email addy where the number goes it will email it from your phone number instead of an email

EDIT: just done it and it sends it as am mms from your phone number to email addy,
So yes it does work,

Ummm. Ok i can't actually type an email in as I can't type the at @ sign it's just letters/ numbers

CRUMPLYPORK · 30 Mar 2011 at 09:28

press the 123 button in the bottom left of the screen the @ sign is their

EDIT: ignore that reply,. The @ sign is at the bottom middle of the keypad

wow thsi is well weird i just made sure what i was saying was true, and its moved lol

It is where the 123 keypad is

It's not

. It's a 0 and a + if you long press it. iOS 4.3.1

i just press 123 then its on that screen

What i am doing :

Go to messages inbox
Click the arrow
Select a message
Choose forward
Then I get box to enter number
Letters only ,pressing 123 gives me only numbers and a + , no at sign

Can someone else with iPhone 4 verify this please as it is odd.

Don't really see the issue you have here, with all the faffing about you could have copied and pasted and emailed it off by now, it pretty much takes no time at all.

It's not really the same thing though. It takes loads of keystrokes, if you want to copy more than one text it's a major pita, there is no attribution or timestamp included in the copied text.
