How to Read Text Messages Sent to a Phone Over the Internet

Just as text messages can be sent from one phone to another, a message can also be sent from a computer to a cellular phone. Text messages from the Internet can be found in the same place as normal text messages, though they will look slightly different.

Instructions

1. Access your phone's menu screen. This can be different from phone to phone, but for example, on a Samsung Juke phone, you press the button in the middle of the menu wheel.

2. Scroll down until you reach "Messaging" or a similar option.

3. Find your inbox and open it. On a Samsung Juke, this will be option No. 2.

4. Scroll through the messages until you find one that has an e-mail address instead of a phone number as a sender. This is your text message that came via the Internet.

5. Press "Enter," or the equivelant, to open and read the message. On a Juke, this is the button in the middle of the scroll reel.
