Cellular carriers work very hard to isolate text messages from emails. Most people think text data is more private and is not kept on any server. But they keep information about the sender and in many cases the actual data for up to seven years. But if you "need a record" you can get your text messages to your email system.
If I get a text message I may want to send this message to either my own email account or to someone elses email account. not a phone number @txt.att.ent or tmomail.net.
Sending a text to another persons email is easy as long as your service plan allows MMS messages(MultiMedia Message Service vs. SMS Short Message Service) . Simply put the email address in the TO field instead of the phone number and send the text. You can test this on your phone easily but you will have to send it to an address that is not linked to your phone number or it will appear as a text.
If you want to have all your text messages sent to your email inbox, try these steps.
