SOLVED: 3 Easy Ways To Send a Text Without A Cell Phone

If you don’t have a mobile phone, or like in my case, you need your cell for something else (like shooting a video) at the same time you need to send a text, you are in luck. 

There are 3 simply ways to send a text without using a cell phone:

1 – Send Texts Through a Free Website Service

There are MANY websites that will send an text message without registering or going through any hoops.  Companies like A Free SMS, Send SMS Now, SendaText make their money off the advertising on their web pages.

2 – Email to Text

If you know the company that the recipient is on you can send a text to them using their text email address.  A text email address is just the phone-number@text.domain.com

For instance if I want to send a message to a buddy of mine with cell number 403-252-9665 who uses Telus, I would email 403-252-9665@msg.telus.com.
