How to Send an Email from a Computer to Verizon Phones

Email clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird may be used to email Verizon phones.

Sending an email message from your computer to a Verizon Wireless mobile phone is a good way to stay in touch when verbal communication is not possible. An email message to a Verizon Wireless phone is received as if it is a text message. Any customer with the ability to send and receive texts can receive an emailed message from a computer. Depending on the recipient's Verizon mobile service plan, he may incur a charge for receiving an email message.

Instructions

1. Access your email account in a web browser such as Google Chrome or Opera. If you use an email client, double-click its icon on your computer's desktop to open the program.

2. Click "Compose" to create a new email message to send.

3. Enter the recipient's Verizon mobile email address in the "To" field. The mobile email address is her 10-digit phone number followed by "@vtext.com." For example, the address will be [e-mail].

4. Enter the text for your email in the body of the message.

5. Click "Send" to deliver the email message from your computer to the Verizon phone.
