How to Send Text Messages to Verizon Customers

1. Open any Web browser on your computer, such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera or Firefox.
2. Go to Verizon's 'Send a Text Message' online texting page. The direct link to this site is located in the Resources section of this article.
3. Enter the Verizon wireless number you wish to send a text message to in the 'Send To' field. Do not include spaces, dashes or parenthesis. Separate multiple wireless numbers with commas if sending a text message to more than one Verizon wireless number simultaneously.
4. Type your message into the 'Your Message' field.
5. Type your name into the 'From' field. This will show up in the final text message to the Verizon wireless customer to identify who the message is from.
6. Enter your phone number into the 'Callback Number' field. Again, this is done without spaces, dashes or parenthesis.
7. Click the 'Send' button. The entire message has a 140 character limit.
