Once you have been advised that your multiTXT account has been set up, you can send a text message via email by following these three steps:

  1. Open your University of Otago email application (for example, Outlook or macOS Mail).
  2. Type the mobile number into the TO: field of a new email message, followed by "@mtxt.co.nz". For example, to send a text message to the mobile number 0211234567 using multiTXT, you would address it to 0211234567@mtxt.co.nz You can include a subject line if you like.
  3. Type your text message and press Send.

The standard 160-character limit for text messages applies to multiTXT email to text messages as well. If you have a default email signature, this will be included in your text message.
