Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / October 2006Alias question
My girlfriend recently replied to a text message I sent her, and when I received the reply in my Inbox, it came back with <somename>@vtext.com instead of <hernumber>@vtext.com. I don't have Verizon, but she does and I received this reply on my Blackberry. Not wanting to jump to conclusions, I wanted to ask someone here how that could happen. Thanks in advance :) > My girlfriend recently replied to a text message I sent her, and when I > received the reply in my Inbox, it came back with <somename>@vtext.com > instead of <hernumber>@vtext.com.

Assuming you're not being a smart-aleck, she wouldn't have received the text Isent HER on HIS phone . . . correct? > > My girlfriend recently replied to a text message I sent her, and when I > > received the reply in my Inbox, it came back with <somename>@vtext.com [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > She was in bed with her old boyfriend when she sent it and used his phone? >> > My girlfriend recently replied to a text message I sent her, and when I >> > received the reply in my Inbox, it came back with <somename>@vtext.com [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Assuming you're not being a smart-aleck, she wouldn't have received the > text I sent HER on HIS phone . . . correct? Can you spell call/text forwarding, boys and girls? > My girlfriend recently replied to a text message I sent her, and when I > received the reply in my Inbox, it came back with <somename>@vtext.com > instead of <hernumber>@vtext.com.

Not wanting to jump to > conclusions, I wanted to ask someone here how that could happen. > Thanks in advance :) That is a feature of a vtext.com account: let's one set up an alias like that so the phone number is not "given away" to anyone who receives text messages from it. The alias is a perfectly valid email address for her phone to receive text messages (assuming she DID set it up on her vtext.com account??). ROC When verizon first setup text messaging, you had the option of setting up an alias name as part of your profile. It would be <somename>@vtext.com. If the message was sent from her phone, that is one option. Even though you sent the message to her phone, she doesn't have to reply from her phone. She could use another phone, or the internet. If she used an internet account, she could have her reply name be whatever she wants. Hope that helps. dr  Signaturedr.news //stores.ebay.com/better-price-wireless (not better than you deserve, just more than you're used to) //free.better-price.biz (for new lines of wireless service; all carriers; the phones are almost always a better-price) > My girlfriend recently replied to a text message I sent her, and when I > received the reply in my Inbox, it came back with <somename>@vtext.com > instead of <hernumber>@vtext.com.
