How to Text a Home Phone for Free

1. Ask the recipient of your text message whether his home phone provider accepts text messages. If it does, your text will be spoken by a computer when the recipient answers the phone. If it does not, you cannot send a text to the phone.
2. Access the text message feature on your phone. The exact location will vary based on your type of phone, so consult your manual.
3. Type the message using your keypad. Type in the phone number of the recipient, and then press the 'Send' button.
