In our work and homes we often want to communicate a text message in a larger group or without a phone. You can, for free. You simply need to know the cell phone provider and the recipients ten digit cell phone number.
Begin your e-mail message as normal on your phone, tablet, or computer. Address your message to cell phone number@provider. For example, [email protected]. You can address multiple recipients and even use an e-mail group. A list of the most common cell phone providers is included on our website.
The recipient will receive the your e-mail message as a text message. As always standard messaging rates apply.
E-mail communication continues to be the most consistent platform, however, texting is a more immediate communication method. When you need to get word out that baseball practice is cancelled due to rain or your company meeting is delayed by 30 minutes, then try e-mail to texting.
