How to Send SMS Birthday Wishes
1. Open your contacts up and select the person you want to send an SMS to. Press the option 'send message' to begin your SMS. Alternately, if you recently received an SMS from the person, click 'reply' on a previous message.
2. Decide what type of birthday wishes you want to send them. A quick 'happy birthday' may suffice for a work colleague but not for a parent or partner for whom you have forgotten to buy a card.
3. Write your message. Try to make it personal. If they are having a party later on that evening tell them to have a great time or that you are looking forward to seeing them tonight.
4. Look in old greetings card for inspiration if you are struggling with what to write. You may find an old poem that you would like to send in an SMS. Alternatively, devise your own brief poem wishing the recipient happy birthday.
5. Click 'Insert' to add an image or photograph. If you have images on your cell phone, send a birthday cake or party hat. Alternatively, you may have an old birthday photograph or related image that you wish to send along with the text.
6. Check your text message to see if the spelling is correct and you are happy with what it says. SMS messages can sometimes be interpreted differently because you cannot hear the emotion in the sender's voice, so it is always a good idea to double check what you have written.
7. Click send. Your SMS should reach the recipients' cell phone immediately.
How to Send a Free SMS Through the Web
1. Look on the Internet for websites that offer free SMS messaging. Text 4 Free and Online Text Messaging are examples of websites that send free SMS messages.
2. Access the website and read the information on the page including the terms of agreement before sending your free SMS message.
3. Type in the information the web page asks for, including the cell-phone number of the recipient, your email address and the message to the recipient. Make sure to include your name so the recipient will know it is from you.
4. Read over the message before sending. Click 'Send.' Another page will load stating that your SMS message was sent. You can send messages back and forth to the recipient if you provided your email address, even though it is optional on some free text-message websites.
How to Make Calls to Cell Phones Online
1. Choose a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) service that will allow you to make calls over the Internet. There are several to consider, including Skype, MediaRingTalk, and Jaxtr. While these services are free, each has its advantages and disadvantages.
2. Try Skype. This is one of the most popular VOIP software programs, with over 400 million users worldwide. Although calling cell phones and landlines isn't free, as of 2010 you could make international calls for only 2.5 cents per minute. You can make free calls to other PC users who have Skype installed. Skype allows you to do video conferencing, and the program can also be installed on your mobile phone.
3. MediaRingTalk is another software application that installs on your PC. The main difference from Skype is that PC calls are free to both landlines and mobile phones if the calls are to the U.S., Australia, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Taiwan, the U.K. or Canada. Calls from PC to PC are free anywhere in the world for MediaRingTalk users. In exchange, you will have to view some advertising on the application's screen.
4. Jaxtr is a free program that gives you the advantages of making phone calls online using VOIP without the need to connect to a computer or download software. Jaxtr works by using your home or mobile phone to place a call to a local Jaxtr number in any of 50 countries. Next, you input the number you wish to call. The Jaxtr servers will connect you for free. So, you are still making a call online but without the inconvenience of having to download, install and log in to a software application.
