They will already have your gmob email address. That never has to change (unless you change your phone number).

gmob works with ANY email platform because your gmob email is simply forwarded to your current email provider. Whether you are using Gmail, Yahoo, MSN/Hotmail, Comcast or any private email you send/receive mail just as you always have. We are basically an email router for you.

You can send or receive ANY size document through gmob. You are only limited by your current email providers' standards of service.
Could this be a violation of my privacy?
Some people may not want their phone number available for privacy reasons. No problem, simply give that person the email address your email provider has given you. But remember, in most, if not all cases, when giving someone your email address they already have you phone number.
