How to Send Texts Without Providing an SMS Provider

1. Choose a free SMS website. Examples include TXT 2 Day, Text 'Em and Text 4 Free (see Resources). Navigate to the website of your choice.
2. Enter the contact's phone number. You can also add contacts to your phone book, and select your contacts that way.
3. Choose the contact's wireless provider. For example, if your aunt uses Verizon Wireless, select 'Verizon Wireless' from the list of providers. If you do not know, ask your contact.
4. Enter your SMS message. Make sure that it is at least 160 characters or less. Click 'Submit' when satisfied.
