For instance, say you want to send text messages from computer to a person who uses AT&T, and whose number is 483-275-8847. All you will need to do is go to the 'Send To' box and type '4832758847@txt.att.net' and the text message that you type will reach them instantly. There will be no delay in the delivery of the message, and it will be just like you have sent the text message from your phone. The recipient will view your email address as the sender, so make sure that you mention your name somewhere in the message.

You should also keep in mind that it is unnecessary to fill in the subject line, as this will eat away on your word count. The mobile phone of the recipient may be unable to display the message properly if it exceeds 160 characters, so send two separate emails if your word count is exceeding that figure.
