So my pre-teen daughter has become the text message princess. Lori uses text messaging with her best friend and to get a hold of me while I am on on showsite. But what surprised me lately was that many are unfamiliar with how to send a text message to a cell phone from their email – it’s easy!

Just make the subject line:

Alltel
PhoneNumber(with_area_code)@message.alltel.com

AT&T
PhoneNumber@mobile.att.net

Nextel
PhoneNumber@messaging.nextel.com

Sprint
PhoneNumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com

T-mobile
PhoneNumber@tmomail.net

Verizon
PhoneNumber@vtext.com

Note 1: if more than 160 characters it will be received in multiple text messages.

Note 2: if the receipient does not have text messaging as a feature of their cell plan they will be charged.
