It’s amazing to me how popular “texting” or Text Messaging has become over the last few years. Additionally, what’s even more amazing to me is the fact that a new language and possibly even a new culture appears to have spawned from this new technology! OMG, IMO it’s crzy LOL! 😉
As fantastic as this all may be, I’ve found that if I want to send someone a text (especially a long one) while I’m working on my computer, it’s much easier to use Outlook rather than pull out my phone. Granted, I’m not a black belt texting ninja but, I can type 100+ words a minute. So why not take advantage of the big boy keyboard 🙂 not to mention I can send an email (thus the text message) quickly to more than one person AND, (best of all) it’s Free (for me, the sender that is).
Now I know what your thinking. If I’m sitting at a computer, why not just use email?? Put simply; email gets buried. Plus, not everyone has access to email from their phone. That’s the whole point of Text Messaging.
How do I do it?
1. Open up your e-mail program and Compose a new email/text message.
2. Address the email using a combination of the recipient’s mobile number & the carrier address below:
Verizon:
[email protected]
AT&T:
[email protected]
Sprint:
[email protected]
T-Mobile:
[email protected]
T-Mobile (Britain):
[email protected]
Nextel:
[email protected]
Virgin Mobile:
[email protected]
Alltel:
[email protected]
CellularOne:
[email protected]
Omnipoint:
[email protected]
Qwest:
[email protected]
Boost Mobile:
[email protected]
Unicel:
[email protected]
Example: 
My friend John Doe’s phone number is 949-644-8090, and he’s a Verizon Wireless customer. To send him a TXT message using my GMAIL account I would just Compose a new email, and send it to [email protected].
Note: When you write your email, don’t forget that most carriers only allow 160 characters or less for Text Messages. A character is a letter, number, space, or line break.
GROOVY eh? Have a groovy time sending texts to everyone you know from your e-mail client!

I do this all the time, it’s pretty “groovy,” Anyhow I don’t think you mentioned it but you can also send people e-mails from your phone in the form of text. I know this works with g-mail, not sure about other carriers. Just address the text message from your phone like you would an e-mail address. Like for instance I have a friend named John, his email is [email protected]. I can text message him e-mails all the time just by addressing [email protected] as my txt recipient instead of a phone number.
Aha I just figured out the best use for this ever!
My phone was missing and I couldnt find it, and I do not have another phone here at the house to locate it with. So I texted my cell phone from my e-mail account and…beep beep beep. FOUND!!!!
Mrgroove, you should write another article titled “How to find your cell phone using your computer”
Awesome.
I had no idea. This is perfect! Just sent a text to everyone in the office :0
hey can i send sms to nepal telecom using the above method?
if yes how
For Nepal Telecom
may or may not work, but
Try:
http://websms.ntc.net.np/
or the actual address
[email protected]
You can also use this to send texts to people’s emails.
Instead of sending your text to a phone #, address it to an email
Example: (Typing from a phone)
To: [email protected]
“Hi, omg did you see teh show last night? It was pretty funny, I would write more to you but I am almost to my 160 character limit byez!”
End Example:
just replace the phone number recipient with an email recipient, most phones can do this.
