If you are still paying to send your friends text messages through your cell phone, you can do it for free just by sending that same text message from your e-mail account. All you need to know is your friend's service provider.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A computer and any e-mail account or a cellphone with a browser.
  1. Step 1

    Just sign in to your e-mail account. Click on the 'compose a message' button.

  2. Step 2
    Type your SHORT message
     
    Type your SHORT message

    If your friend's phone number is (515) 537-1234 and their cell phone service provider is Sprint, you would type in the 'send message' section: 5155371234@messaging.sprintpcs.com. Your friend will receive the message within seconds. Just try it and see.

  3. Step 3

    Here are the other codes for other cell phone service providers. If you are not sure who your friend's service provider is, just try sending text messages to the all the major providers. Most people have either Sprint, TMobile, Verizon or AT&T. It won't cost you anything but time. Here, try these codes:

    T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
    Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
    Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
    Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
    Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
    Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
    AT&T: phonenumber@txt.att.net


    If you have a Web browser on your cell phone, you can send text messages from there as well. If you are paying to have the Internet on your cell phone, just send messages through the Web instead of paying for separate text messaging service.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have a Web browser on your cell phone, you can send text messages from there as well. If you are paying to have the Internet on your cell phone, just send messages through the Web instead of paying for separate text messaging service.
  • The sender can send unlimited messages via e-mail for free. It may not be free for the receiver. But this is great. I use it all the time. DON'T SEND LONG MESSAGES. AND, NO ATTACHMENTS.

on 2/16/2009 the person receiving the e-mail/text will pay the same regular price as a cell-to-cell text. it's no extra cost to the person you are sending to. if you are at home, send through your e-mail instead of your cell fone.
