How to Use a Free SMS Sender Online

Yahoo Messenger

Cell phones make the world closer and closer. In addition to voice calls, a common feature on mobile phones is SMS. SMS is a “Short Message Service” that allows mobile users to send and receive short text messages. Customers of the cell-phone company typically have to pay for this service. However, those who want to send free SMS can use a free SMS sender from the Internet. The free SMS services may send an advertisement, but the services actually allow you to send free text messages to mobile phones. Users can pick from a variety of online services, some allowing international SMS, to send free SMS messages to mobile phones.

“Send a Free SMS” Website

First, you need to know the carrier of the person who is receiving your SMS message (see Sources). You need to enter the carrier, such as Verizon or T-Mobile, and the phone number of the mobile phone. Also enter your own email address. Enter the subject of the message, a message of up to 100 characters and the pin number. You can see the pin number above the free SMS sender.

Send a Free SMS allows free texting to only mobile phones in the USA and Canada. However, it can send free SMS messages to most carriers in these two countries.

Yahoo Messenger

The popular Yahoo Messenger live messaging service allows you to send text messages to mobile phones in many countries around the world (see Sources). You will need to have the people you want to call download the Yahoo Messenger client and enter their mobile number into their account. When they have their mobile number programmed into their account, you can send free text messages to that mobile phone.

First, you need to add the person as a contact. Click on “Contact” in Yahoo Messenger. Then click on “Add a Contact” to add the person’s email address. That person can then add you as a friend.

Log in with the Yahoo Messenger client when you are ready to send a free text message. Double click on the person’s name. The chat box will open up. If that person is not online, you will see a link in the chat box to send an SMS message. Click on that and then enter your text in the text window to send the free SMS.

Although it is more difficult to set up SMS messaging for Yahoo, the good point is that Yahoo is very reliable compared to most free SMS senders. You can try another free service if you need to send a text message to someone who is not a Yahoo Messenger user or friend of yours. But you should use Yahoo Messenger if you can. It is best to think of the people with cell phones that you might want to send a free text message to and buddy up with them on Messenger before you need to send messages.

Note:

Many free SMS senders go out of business or lack consistency and reliability in service. The attrition rate is rather large for free SMS services. You may have to search in a search engine for “send SMS” or similar phrases if you find that your SMS text provider no longer offers sending of SMS messages.
