I recently had to interact with a company to their field supervisor's phone through Google Message+ (Texas Children's Protection Agency)
Now trying to send to numerous Senate committee members by Gmail. Is there a simple way to convert sms to Gmail? (think computer dumb 62 yr old grandmother)
I have LGK8V, Android, Verizon service. Thanks. This just came up & the speaker of the house's office is waiting for me to forward.

Firstly, let me state my personal bias. I don't like message+ ... Wow, I got that off my chest. I feel muuch better!

I use Google Messages because it enables me to sync messages with my laptop via web connection more accurately than message + does. That said, if you go into your verizon wireless online account, login, then select, then once your account page comes up, go to the top right and scroll your mouse over the account tab and then scroll down to "text online".. Your texts will all come up and you can cut and past them into your gmail. Technically speaking, you can text from your laptop or desktop that way.

If you go with Google messages messages.android.com , this all becomes muuuuch easier. I hope this helps.

It does help. And believe it or not I do everything on an Android phone. It's a struggle, but ya gotta work with what you have, right. How about if I convert these message+ to the Google sms, if possible. Since I asked my question I was able to find a copy message to clipboard option. Individually only.
And I mentioned CPS? I'm trying to forward the CPS texts to a Senate committee on revamping the CPS laws. Volumes of text messages. Wish me luck.

I was thinking you'd work off your laptop making cutting and pasting easier. But if you are working off your phone just long press on the text and paste it to gmail. Does that help?

That's what I've been doing. Pain in the butt when there is a multitude. I did leave messages+ at your suggestion. What would be great would be an option to cut/paste all. Aren't we all a wee bit spoiled by technology. On a good note, as a Texas Native, I do have the phone trained. Yee haw, y'all, etc.
And she cusses like a sailor. It no longer suggests he'll any more. 🇨🇱

So, okay. If you can sync with a laptop, then your copy/paste into gmail will be easier. That's all I got.

No laptop but I came up with a tiny piece of brilliance.
I'm cutting & pasting to Colour Notes. Then putting in one fell swoop to Gmail. Gmail in the cut n paste was not taking the attached photo albums. I'm quite sure it was something I was doing wrong. But it works.
Thanks for your help & patience.

Take a screenshot when your on the message page and email the screenshots. I do everything on my device as well. Just so you know it would be a lot better if you had a better device. I'm not just saying that because I am in sales, If you use your phone for everything it's not going to last long. Those entry level devices are not designed to carry such a high work load. It's for people that don't use there devices often. I wouldn't be surprised if you were already running or ran out of storage. My father started out with a cheaper device and I finally got him to upgrade to a high end phone and he tells me all the time there is a huge difference in how they perform. If you have any questions I can give you the ins and outs of how to upgrade without getting ripped off or sold something you don't need. I have a small list of time saving items that everyone that uses there device a lot would benefit from having. You wouldn't know you need them until you actually have them, you know what they say time is money and there is never enough time in the day. Be careful though a lot of sales Consultants sell shady and or try to sell you a phone you don't need or that won't be good for your lifestyle.
