If you’re looking for a way to stay connected with your friends and family without spending a fortune on phone bills, you should consider using text messages via email. Sending text messages via email is free, and it’s a great way to keep in touch with your loved ones without having to spend hours on the phone. To send a text message via email, all you need is an email address and a phone number. Simply enter your email address into the “to” field of your email message, and then enter the phone number of the person you want to send the message to into the “from” field. Next, type in your text message in the “body” field of your email message. Click “send” to send your message. Text messages sent via email are just as easy to receive as any other text message. Simply open your inbox on your computer or mobile device, and click on the link that was sent to you in an emailmessage. You’ll be able to read and reply to the text messages that were sent from that particular address. ..
Another cool thing you can do with Teleflip is enter in the cell number you want to contact into your email. I find this a lot more beneficial than going to their website every time. You just need to type in 1(555)-555-1234@telefip.com and send the text message on its way. Then you can save that contact to easily text message your contacts from email. *Note I have only tried this with my Yahoo Email account and it works, so I cannot speak for any other services. If you have information on other services definitely share them with us!
