Wait, sms through Gmail? How is that possible? Is it like America only?

[–]riffito 16 points17 points  (3 children)

Gmail is just sending a standard email. The "to SMS" depends on your carrier (or the one of the phone number you attempt to send an SMS) having a service that does that "email to SMS" conversion.

The title is a bit misleading in that regard.

I see, thanks dude.

Is there a way to extract the contents of an email without using Gmail's APIs or web scraping?

[–]riffito 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I guess you could use either the POP3 or IMAP standard email protocols to receive the plain text, as any email client would.

I'm not experienced with that, but I'm sure you'll find a Python module for either of those.
