Post #300,507 by crazy 12/2/08 1:30:27 PM Reply	SMS / Email issues I'd like to stop using IM on my blackberry (corporate issue). But I want to communicate with someone with a cell phone who does not have web access, just IM. This person is on AT&T, as am I. Can I email to their phone number @ att.net (or some other tail), and if they "IM" back will it be converted to an email on the AT&T gateway side, or is this something I need to setup myself?

The part I'm not sure about is the auto-conversion of IM-to-email like you're requesting. -Mike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
