How to Send a Text Message to Any Phone
- 1). Navigate to the recipient's service provider's website. For example, visit the Verizon website if the recipient uses Verizon, or the AT&T website if he uses AT&T.
- 2). Locate the provider's messaging section. The location of this will vary depending on the website, though most websites will have a link right on the front page.
- 3). Type in the recipient's phone number where indicated.
- 4). Type your message, ensuring it is short enough to be sent as a single text. The website will let you know the maximum amount of characters you can use, which will likely vary between 140 and 160.
- 5). Send your message. The recipient will receive the text you typed.
