If you want to transfer a text message to an email address, all you have to do is use your cellular telephone to forward it to the correct address. Text messages are sent to and from cell phones over a wireless data network, and that data network is also connected to the Internet. Note that you may be charged for the forwarding of a text message to an email address depending on the terms and conditions of the cell phone contract you signed when your service began.
