# How to send SMS from email

## Email to SMS sending is fast and convenient and can be sent anywhere you have internet and email access.

To send SMS from email via GoFax, you will require:      

1. An online account with [GoFax](https://clientadmin.gofax.com.au/signup/signup1.aspx?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gofax.com.au%2F)
2. GoFax Send credits
3. Your email address added as an ‘[Allowed sender for SMS](https://support.gofax.com.au/en/manage-allowed-senders-for-sms?hsLang=en)’ on your GoFax account

Next steps: 

1. Create a new email message in any email application/service, e.g. Outlook® or Gmail™
2. In the "**To**" field, enter the mobile number followed by @sms.gofax.com.au   
   ⚠️ *Entries in the CC or BCC field will **not** be processed. 
   
   **Eg Australian Mobile number:  0412345678@sms.gofax.com.au***
   
   To send SMS internationally, enter country code, mobile number, @sms.gofax.com.au.

4. Click "Send".

⚠️ When using the body of the email to send SMS, please ensure that email signatures and/or disclaimer content are removed before sending.
