You can send a text via your email client by including the phone number and service provider of the person you are texting. On a phone, the sender of the text appears as your email address.
- Address the text
On the email address line, type the recipient's nine-digit phone number, followed by the @ symbol. Then type the appropriate name of their cell service provider, which is found on the official company website. For example, Verizon uses "vtext.com" and Sprint uses "messaging.sprintpcs.com."
- Type the text
Write the text you want to send in the body of the email. Keep character limits imposed by cell phones in mind when composing the text.
- Send the text
Hit the Send button on the email. This transmits the text to the recipient's phone.
