reminders, and alerts will simply
disappear.

Missed appointments, failed notifications,
and customer confusion cost real money.
System Failures
Automated workflows will break silently,
causing operational chaos.
Don't Risk Your Business
Every day you wait increases the risk of being caught unprepared when AT&T
shuts down.
Why is AT&T Shutting Down Email-to-Text?
1. 10DLC Compliance Requirements
The FCC now requires all business text messaging to be verified
through The Campaign Registry (TCR). Email gateways can't verify
sender identity, making AT&T liable for spam and fraud sent
through their system. Carriers face penalties of $500-$1,500 per
violation for non-compliant messaging.
2. Security Vulnerabilities
Email-to-text became a "spam magnet" and easy vector for
smishing (SMS phishing) attacks. With no way to authenticate
legitimate business senders, carriers face massive liability. Anyone
could send from any email address, creating security nightmares.
3. Technological Obsolescence
This 20+ year old technology requires high maintenance costs that
AT&T would rather invest in 5G and modern services. As one
industry expert noted: "Using email to trigger a text in 2025 is like
using a floppy disk."
4. Industry-Wide Movement
This isn't just AT&T. Cricket Wireless (AT&T subsidiary) is also
shutting down. Verizon's service is already experiencing reliability
issues, and T-Mobile is expected to follow. The entire industry is
moving away from email gateways.
Who is Affected by the AT&T Shutdown?
The impact is massive. Based on our research and actual customer feedback:
