First, here are some reasons you might want to…

• It’s much easier to type using a full size computer keyboard
• TEXT messages may cost additional money (add-on fees from cellular providers)
• Online classified ads mask email addresses-item may sell before email received (some ads list # & “Text me”)
• Dead battery on your cell phone

How to send a TEXT Message by email

1. Use the ten digit phone number of the person you want to text. This must be a cell phone (not a land-line)

2. Open your email program and compose your message. Try & keep it to 160 characters or less.

If you type more it won’t fit into a single text message. Anything typed in the subject line counts toward your character total.

3. If you don’t know who the service provider is, then address the text message to the ten digit cellular phone number “@teleflip.com”. (up to 100 msgs. free per month)

Use the following table if you know your recipients cellular service provider.

Type their full 10 digit number followed by the suffix in quotes below.

• AT&T “@txt.att.net”
• SPRINT “@messaging.sprintpcs.com”
• T-Mobile “@tmomail.net”
• VERIZON “@vtext.com”
