How to forward all recieved text messages to an e-mail address

I am very aware of this option on the blackberry where you can have all of your text messages e-mailed to you as well as recieved on your phone. I am not sure of a way to do this on iphone 3gs.
I am running 4.1
Rogers network
16 gb
thanks

Blackberry devices had this option because Blackberry's data went through their servers and thus in a way were a carrier. It was thus more like a carrier setting that allowed this.
If this is an option it would be done at the carrier level, not the phone level.
As for me, I give out my Google Voice number to people not my actual phone number thus I have the option for email copies that way.

  • How to block all AIM text messages to cell phone

    Hi folks,
    I was woken up by an AIM text message (obviously spam) on my phone around 6:30am this morning. I received two more text spam between 6:30am and 7:15am until I put my phone into "Standalone mode" so I could go back to sleep. Each text message was from a different 6-digit phone number or 6-digit code, so blocking one number would not help. When I got out of bed and turned my phone back on, I was still receiving more AIM text messages (also obviously spam) to check out a certain URL.
    I have an older prepaid plan. So when I log into My Verizon and look for the spam controls, I don't have any.
    I found a way to turn off ALL AIM text messages. I found this site:
    http://www.aim.com/products/txt#im-to-mobile
    Under
    Manage Your Mobile Privacy
    It has a link called:
    Block texts if you are not an AIM user
    http://www.aim.com/products/txt#block-txt
    You enter your cell phone number into this page, you get a confirmation number via text message on your cell phone, you enter this 4-digit confirmation number (located at the end of the text message) into this web page, and click "Disable Messages". It says:
    Pressing this button will disable all text messages coming from AOL® and AIM® Services to your phone.
    Once you click that button, a little pop-up window will appear that says:
    The page at aolmobile.aol.com says:
    SMS to your device successfully blocked.
    with an OK button.
    I hope it works! It looks like it will work for all cell phones, not just Verizon. So far my phone has been quiet for the past hour and 15 minutes, I am not getting any more AIM text messages....

    There is no know issue like this; have you installed any Preware apps? Have you tried restarting your device from Device Info, Reset Options, and Restart? I would try this first; but you may have to go the next step and Erase Apps & Data. This would delete all PIM data and apps off you device, and then you would have to reload from your backup data. This however will also delete all text messages on the device, and there is no way to restore them. The last step would be to run webOS doctor on the device to restore or repair the operating system. You can get this application from www.palm.com/rom, enter your serial number and follow the steps on this web page.

  • My husband and I have our iphones  and icloud set up. He is getting all my text messages coming through to his phone, how can i get this changed so it does not happen? does it have anything to do with icloud?

    My husband and i have our iphones set up. He is getting all my text messages that are coming through to my phone, how can i elminate this problem? Does it have anything to do with out icloud?

    Well, you use the different accounts such Phone Numbers, email addresses. And make sure that your iPhones have no receipient address in common, then you can avoid this issue.
    I use iMessage on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iPod touch.
    Each of them has a individual address to receive messages, so they won't combine all the messages among all the devices.
    Try this, if it doesn't work, tell me, I'll figure another way out.

    I have just completed an update to IOS 5 and restored by phone from back up but all the text messages have disappoeared.  How do I get them back?

    Not for the iPhone. Go to Safari, go to maps.google.com, then add the bookmark to the desktop and you have most of what was in the native Google Maps app.

    Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".   If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

  • How can I find my iCloud folder with all my text messages in???

    I need to get all my text messages back but don't know where to find them..... Please somebody help

    Text messages are only in icloud as part of a backup.  Do you have backups to icloud turned on?  Same question for iTunes, do you have recent backups?
    You can only get lost/delete text messages by performing a restore from a backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

  • While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they recieved text message from my iphone that I did not send. How is that possible?

    I repeat.  While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they began recieving text messages from my Iphone that I did not send.  I am in the middle east and I was calling a land line in Mexico but that should not have mattered.  Moreover, the person I was speaking to told me they had gotten other text messages from me that know I never sent.   I called my phone company (AT&T) and was told the problem was not with the system but with my Iphone.  They suggested someone was using app that mimicked my phone number.   Is such a think possible? 

    In addition to my iphone I have an itouch.  I only just today created an appleID so that I could use this message board so it seems unlikely that the problem is the result of a misused ID
