Tele-Communication (Telecom) Terms Glossary and Dictionary
Teleflip is a service that makes it possible for a customer to
send short email messages to anyone's phone using only their
phone number. The way it works is like this: Open any email
program or webmail site, then in the To: field, put your
friend's phone number (don't use any parentheses around the area
code), followed by @teleflip.com. For instance, if your friend's
number was 415-555-1212, you'd just enter: email@example.com. In
the body of the message, type a short message, up to 160
characters. You can put something in the subject line too, but
it will count towards that 160-character limit, finally,hit
Send. Your message will go to TeleFlip, and TeleFlip will
convert it into a text message and deliver it to your friend's
phone via SMS (Short Message Service).
