How Do I Send a Free Text Message from a PC to a Cell Phone?

1. Use OnlineTextMessage.com. Here, you can send a free SMS to someone. The site supports all major U.S. cell carriers and will display your email address as the sender instead of your mobile number. This means you won't receive any advertising calls as a result of inputting your cell number. If you like using text abbreviations, the website has compiled the most popular ones, and you can choose from these as and when you want to use them.
2. Send an email SMS. According to reference website Make Use Of, most U.S. cell providers offer a free email-to-SMS gateway, which allows users to send simple text emails to cell phones as SMS messages. To use this service, you will need to know your friend's cell phone provider as well as her mobile number. Once you have this information, visit makeuseof.com/tag/email-to-sms to find the correct email address for a particular carrier. Unlike normal emails, you can't send attachments, images or formatted text using this method.
3. Visit text4free.net. As well as sending normal SMS messages, the website allows users on some U.S. carriers to attach audio or picture files from their computer to create an MMS as long as the recipient's phone supports picture messages. Additionally, you can send a single message to several recipients simultaneously. The service is free, but users should remember that the recipient's carrier might charge them for retrieving MMS files containing photos, graphics or audio data.
