How to Send a Message to a Cell Phone Using Outlook

1. Double-click the 'Microsoft Outlook' icon on your computer's desktop. If an Outlook icon does not appear on your desktop, click the Windows 'Start' button and then choose 'Microsoft Outlook' from the menu options.
2. Click 'New E-Mail' in the top menu to create a new message.
3. Enter the recipient's mobile email address in the 'To' field. The mobile email address is comprised of the recipient's 10-digit cell phone number followed by the SMS gateway. The SMS gateway is the equivalent of a domain in an email address and varies from one cellphone service provider to another. For example, a Sprint customer's mobile email address would look something like 1234567890@messaging.sprintpcs.com
4. Enter a subject in the designated field and then type your message. On most cellular networks, you'll need to limit your message to 160 characters or less. Longer messages may be truncated or sent as several messages.
5. Click the 'Send' button and your message will be delivered to the recipient's cellphone within a few seconds.
