How to Send an SMS From the PSP
1. Turn on your PSP.
2. Press the 'Home' button to the lower left of the screen to get to the main menu. If you already are connected to the Internet, skip to Step 7.
3. Open 'Settings' and then 'Network Settings.' Select 'Infrastructure Mode.' Choose 'New Connection.' Enter a name for the connection.
4. Select 'Scan' and wait for your PSP to find a network. Select the one you want and press 'X.'
5. Select the security setting you want, and then select 'Easy' on the Address Settings page. Continue after you get to the confirmation page, and press 'X' to save the settings.
6. Select 'Test Connection' to see if you have successfully established a connection to the Internet. If the test fails, try moving closer to the Wi-Fi access point and retrying the test. Otherwise, you may have to find a different connection.
7. If it works, press the 'Home' button again and then use the directional pad to go to the 'Internet Browser' icon.
8. Visit the Free SMS Messages site (see Resources) for a listing of addresses to send text messages to, depending on the carrier. For example, if the person you want to send the SMS message to is on Verizon, you need to send the message to 5551029320@vtext.com, and 5551029320@txt.att.net if the person uses AT&T. Replace 5551029320 in the address with the person's number.
9. Visit your email provider's home page and login. Compose a new message, and put the address you determined in the previous step in the 'To' box, and then press 'Send.' This should send a message directly to the person's phone.
10. Visit the txtDrop website (see Resources) if you want another way to do it. Enter your email address in the box provided, the recipient's phone number and your text message, and then press 'Send.'

How to Print Text Messages Off of Your Galaxy S III
Software Option
1. Download BackupTrans Software’s “Android SMS + MMS Transfer” software (see Resources). This software extracts SMS and MMS messages from any Android device and stores them for backup on your PC. With the free software, you can view and transfer a limited number of text messages; with the licensed version ($29 as of August 2013), you can transfer unlimited texts on up to three devices.
2. Connect your Galaxy S3 to your computer using the provided miniUSB cable, wait for your computer to recognize the device and then launch Android SMS + MMS Transfer. The software will scan your drive and create a list of items that it can sync to your computer; the first time you connect the Galaxy, this process may take a few minutes.
3. Click on “Galaxy S3” under the list of devices in the left-hand panel of the software. Select the messages you want to print from the list, click “File” and choose “Print SMS and MMS.” Select your printer and confirm the print settings (using the visual print preview) and then click “Print.”
App Option
4. Press the “Home” button on the Galaxy S3 and swipe your phone to unlock it. Tap the “Google Play” icon to open the application market. You need to be connected to the Internet to download apps, so make sure your phone has either a 4G or Wi-Fi connection. Search for “PrinterShare Mobile Print.” Tap “Install” to download and install the software.
5. Connect your phone to Wi-Fi, if it isn't already, and ensure that your printer is turned on. Both the printer and the phone need to be on the same wireless network in order for PrinterShare Mobile Print to work properly. Tap the app to open it and wait while it searches the network for the printer.
6. Tap “Messages” to open your SMS and MMS messages in PrinterShare. Select a conversation that you wish to print and then choose your printer from the list or tap “Nearby – WiFi” to select the closest wireless printer available. Additionally, you can print to a Bluetooth or USB printer using the Samsung miniUSB to connect to the printer. With the free version of the software, you can print up to 20 pages. After that, you need to buy PrinterShare Premium Key for $13 through Google Play.
Manual Method
7. Tap 'Messages' on your phone to view the text messages and then click on a conversation with messages you want to print. Tap and hold on any of the speech bubbles and then tap 'Copy message text.'
8. Press the 'Home' button to return to your Home screen and then tap 'Email' to open the email app. Compose a new message to yourself and then tap and hold in the body of the message and press 'Paste.' Repeat these two steps until all of the messages you want to print are in the email body. Tap 'Send.'
9. Open the email on any computer connected to a printer and then click 'File,' and choose 'Print' in your Web browser. The formatting of the text messages may not be perfect from the copying-and-pasting, so you may wish to copy these texts into a word processor before printing.
