tmomail.net (email-to-SMS) is GONE?
I've used email to ##########@tmomail.net to sent text messages to my T-mobile number for YEARS.
It began to fail intermittently around 15-Nov-2024, then completely today 14-Dec-2024. I did not investigate the problem before today. As of right now, it appears the tmomail.net address no longer has an IP number!
ping tmomail.net
Ping request could not find host tmomail.net. Please check the name and try again.
I verified this no-number state with Comcast DNS, Google DNS, Level3.net DNS, and even 1.1.1.1 DNS.
This is not the Google email-to-SMS problem that many others have reported as I send the emails via Comcast SMTP. All of the failures are documented by mailer-daemon@comcast.net
This is rather crappy treatment of T-Mobile customers. If you want to discontinue a service that we use, let us know. For an email-to-SMS service, maybe send us a text? Let us know what you're offering instead? Or maybe you want us to explore options with another provider?
Leyth,
Thank you, but "it seems there are limits" does not apply, the IP address doesn't resolve. The IP name does not have a IP number, intermittently.
I can send messages, but it seems there are limits on the number you can send, possibly with rate limits applied every hour. I called to complain about this and they said they would get back to me, never heard from them. They mentioned they would get back to me after passing me around a few times. It seems like no one knows what the issue is, but they're more than happy to take your money.
Additionally, ping is disabled on most of these systems for security purposes.
