Adding Text Me Box to WordPress Using Contact Form 7

On FotosByEric.com I have installed a text me box to the sidebar of my WordPress blog page. I simply added Contact Form 7 to my plugin list.

The, you simply click on Add New and start a new Contact Form….

Then look at the chart below, and add your phone number before the carriers e-mail address.

That’s it. I wish, I knew how to make the submission box skinnier, but besides that it works great! It is better than the Text Me Plugin, and actually works. If you have any info on how I can change the submission Box, any help would be greatly appreciated.

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

where phonenumber = your 10 digit phone number

Chart From: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/939/sms_email_cingular_nextel_sprint_tmobile_verizon_virgin/ UPDATE:

Chris so graciously helped out with this topic by adding a way to send an automated reply:

“just made a [text* phone] and then a drop down [select* carrier "Verizon|@vtext.com" "Virgin Mobile|@vmobl.com"] then in the mail 2 I used the shortcodes To: [phone][carrier]

and it sends it out perfectly.

Hope this helps.
