How to Send an Instant SMS

Short Message Service, commonly known as SMS, refers to the transmission of instant text messages from one cell phone to another. One SMS can contain 160 alphanumeric characters without graphics or images. Almost all cell phones support sending and receiving SMS. For each SMS you send, you are charged a particular fee by your wireless service provider. As soon the SMS is composed and sent, it is received by the recipient.

Instructions

1. Go to "Menu", then "Messaging."

2. Choose "Create Message" or "Write New" (the options vary depending on your cell phone model).

3. Select "Text Message."

4. Provide the recipient's number in the "To" field. To retrieve the number from the contacts list, select "Add" or "Contacts lookup." Then choose the recipient from the list and press "OK."

5. Type the message in the message box.

6. Choose "Send" to send the message.
