 Send me an email when I receive a text using TextNow.com:

  1. Go to TextNow.com's home page
  2. Sign into your account and click on My Account in the top right-hand corner
  3. Choose Settings from that menu
  4. Select Messaging & Calling from the menu on the left
  5. Click on Messaging Settings.
  6. Add checkmark next to Send me an email when I receive a text

Note: Emails will only be generated by received text messages (no notifications for messages sent from TextNow). Text messages that are received from non-TextNow cell phone numbers will not generate a notification email.
