How to Send Text Through Email

Sending a text message through email is similar to sending a regular email.

Using your email to send a text message can be a convenient way of communicating with someone. If you don't have a text service plan, you can still send text messages this way. Using your computer keyboard to send text messages may also be easier than typing the message on a tiny cell phone key pad. Sending a text message through email is much like sending a regular email.

Instructions

1. Open your email account.

2. Type your message into the body of the email.

3. Type the cell phone number and the cell phone carrier's email domain into the "To" box. For example, if the person you are sending the text to has phone service through AT&T, then you would enter her 10-digit phone number, followed by "@txt.att.net."

4. Send the email.
