How to Send Text Messages From Yahoo! Email

• Answer:

  Text messages are short messages that are often exchanged between two mobile phones. The messages are considered a quick way to converse with others when verbal communication is not possible or desired. A text message may also be sent from an email account, such as Yahoo! Mail. Sending a message by email is cost-effective if your mobile phone includes a limited number of text messages. When the recipient responds to a message sent from an email account, the message is delivered to the sender in the form on an email. Difficulty: Easy Instructions Open a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, and access the Yahoo! Mail website. Log into your online account using your Yahoo! ID and password. If you do not have an account, click "Create New Account" and register for an email account. Click "New" and select "Email Message." A blank email message is opened in the main panel. Enter the recipient's mobile email address. The mobile email address is comprised of the 10-digit mobile number and the SMS gateway. The SMS gateway acts in the same manner as the domain in an email address and varies by mobile carrier. For example, the mobile email address for a Sprint-Nextel customer might be [email protected]. Enter the message in the body of the email. Click "Send," and the recipient should receive the message within seconds. Tips & Warnings Tip: Use a reverse phone search online tool, such as White Pages or FoneFinder, if you do not know the recipient's mobile phone provider.
