Most GCI GSM phones can send and receive email messages. Not all of these phones can connect to a POP3 account, such as your GCI.net email account.

  • You can send an email message to your phone by sending an email to: 1907XXXXXXX@mobile.gci.net, where XXXXXXX is the phone number.
  • You can send an email from your phone by starting through the MMS menu selection.

GCI recommends that any customer setting this up on their cellular phone, have a data package on their GCI account. There are charges for data transfer. Sending/ receiving emails will incur data transfer charges. If there is no data package on the account, your data charges will be much more expensive. Please contact GCI Customer Service for any billing questions or issues.
