E-mail to a moblie number

I may have to send a video to some one's moblie, i don't have their e-mail just a number, So can i send the video from my e-mail(on computer not phone)to a phone number do i just put the phone number into where i would put an e-mail address in and then send?

 

Personally I dont think so, but not well up on this stuff.

 

Not without third party software. Best bet is to what’s app it to them.

 

Thankyou, i'm not up to all the new tec, i don't have what's app, or even a smart phone that why a asked the question if i could send from e-mail to phone

 

You could, if your video isn't terribly private, upload it to a hosting site (e.g. veed.io), and send them a link to it.

 

Thank you never thought of doing that

 

Couple of points -
You can send an email to a phone number, though it depends on whos providing the email service.
This link shows how to do it with the big providers.

The problems you may get is that video files are often too big to attach to an email, how big is yours, eg right click on your video file and the select Properties to show its size. Think 25mb is the largest you can send with Gmail.

For larger video files you need to use one of the free File Sharing services like DropBox etc where you upload your Video to it and you are given a Link for it which you can then Email to your friend to download and view on their pc or phone.

 

The size for our e-mail is only 10mb's
They wouldn't give me their e-mail address so i'm now going to play hard and just send pictures (in the post) in stead or i may forget to i hate it when people mess about

 

Sounds a bit fishy if you have their telephone number but will not give you an email address ?!

Is sending the video to your or their advantage ? worth bothering with ?

 

I've just been talking to 1 of the persons in the group of friends, being that i don't have a smart phone they have been trying to get me to buy one as i'm the only one that doesn't have one so they tryed to get me to send video knowing that i couldn't do it!! that's why i asked, well the group of friends will now find it harder to talk to me as i still won't buy a smart phone as i don't want one and i'm not going to buy one just to be in contect with them they don't use e-mail and they wanted me to be the same, by, by

 

Its nice to have friends.

 

In some ways would agree with you, smart phones, modern apps and social media can be a minefield for even the experienced user.

However would still suggest you get a smart phone, nothing expensive, plenty of decent ones below £100, but they can be so useful in many ways, like Hospital, GP , Dentist and NHS Covid appointments and reminders etc. plus can be a real lifeline if you breakdown in the car.

 

@ricky101, all of that is the very reason I rarely turn my phone on and I don't give anyone, apart from family and friends my mobile number now. I got fed up with being pestered by people sending constant reminders about this or that appointment. I don't want or need a smart phone and am happy with the old style phone I have. It's turned on once a week when I shop, for personal reasons and emergencies only. Anyone else that wants to contact me can use the landline number, or email which I also limit.

@Jiffy stick with it if you don't want a smart phone.

 

Exactly my thoughts, ...............until I got one.
