How to Send Free SMS Via Computer
1. Visit an online SMS messaging provider's site. There are a variety to choose from including txtDrop, txt4free and service providers like AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. Most phone service providers offer a free SMS messaging service on their website. All online SMS providers follow more or less the exact same format for submitting SMS messages.
2. Enter the 'Phone Number' of the recipient. Enter your 'Email Address' or 'Cell Phone Number' (this is not required by all sites). Enter your message in the 'Message' box. Try to keep the message short (under 150 characters) as some service providers will not deliver longer messages. Review the information.
3. Click 'Send.' The SMS message will be sent. Depending on the service the message was sent through, the user may be able to message back via email or SMS. The message should be instantly delivered.
How to Put Games on a Cell Phone
1. Determine the mobile operating system your device is using. The top OS choices currently include iPhone, Google Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Blackberry. If you're device does not use one of these options, it is probably some form of 'propietary software' that will require specialized download software that is installed on your device for use with your carrier.
2. Visit the Apple Apps store if you are an iPhone user. The Apps store can be found on your device and you will simply search for games, find the game you want to purchase and download it to your device.
3. Visit popular software sites if you are using Blackberry, Windows Mobile or Symbian. We recommend Handango and Mobihand since they are two of the more trusted mobile software sites. Choose your device from the list of manufacturers and then choose the program you want to install. You can find mobile games by clicking on the 'Games' link on either site. In most cases you will simply download the application onto your device from your mobile phone's browser and then click on the single install file to install the game. If the game requires a special installation process or certain device hardware and software requirement, you will receive a 'readme' file with the game. Follow those directions. You can also download the games to your PC and then sync your device with your USB cable and transfer the games onto your device. Your device's user's manual will give you directions for syncing based on your specific phones requirements.
4. Check with your cellular provider if your phone does not include a popular operating system or if your device is locked to a specific carrier. They will more than likely have their own application stores which will include games. For instance, Verizon Wireless offers their own 'Get It Now' application for downloading games directly to their devices. See the Resources section below.
