 Hi Sujith,

 

There was a similar question before - "How can we send SMS to a user using ThingWorx?": https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/How-can-we-send-SMS-to-a-user-using-ThingWorx/td-p/513835

Hi Vladimir,

 

I want to understand how to retrieve phone number's mail id in order to send emails to SMS address.

 

Thanks,

Hello @SB_9732186

The Article - CS345079 - Changes to ThingWorx extension support model deals with where to get Twilio, From the conversation you are not interested in using that solution.

 

When you have a Cell Phone number if you know the service provider you can construct an email message and direct it to the cell phone.  You need to go to a website such as https://email2sms.info. This type of site provides information which identifies the gateway to send the message. With the gate way information you can construct an email address <PhoneNumber>@<SMSgateway>
 

I do not know what information you are referring to when you say "phone number's mail id"
