How to Send an SMS to China

Using Free Websites
1. Go to a website that allows to send free SMS to China (see Resources). They all work in the same way--the fields you will need to fill out are almost identical.
2. Type the phone number of the recipient. Some websites ask you to supply the code of the phone operator and the number of the recipient separately. The number of the recipient is the last 8 digits, while the first 2 or 3 digits represent the code of the mobile operator.
3. Type your message and click Send.
Using Your Cell Phone
