# Format 5: Forwarding via e-mail - Reception number in the To:-box or in the Cc:-box

**Format 5: Forwarding via e-mail - Reception number in the To:-box or in the Cc:-box**

You can have a message forwarded to a pager or a mobile phone by typing the recipient's identification in the e-mail's "To:-box" or "Cc:-box".

In this format eCall checks the destination address. This way this format gets used as soon as the sender is unknown.

**Procedure**
1. Write down the recipient's identification in this format <receiver-identification>@forward.ecall.ch in the To:-box and/or in the Cc:-box of the email as you usually do it with ordinary email adresses.
2. Write down the message in the e-mail's text box.
3. Send the e-mail.

**Important**

* The destination address (like +41791234567@forward.ecall.ch) has to be entered int the settings 'Access via e-mail' __exactly like this in lower case__.
* In the menu option 'Settings: Access via e-mail' the check box 'I allow messages to be sent via my eCall account by email' must be activated.
* You have to write the telephone number in the international format. Example for Switzerland: 0041 or +41

**Note**

* With this format it is not possible to forward a message to several recipients.
* The capitalization of the recipient's identification doesn't matter.
* The message being sent to the pager/the mobile phone is composed of the email's subject box and the text box.
