Method 1: From the wireless carrier's website

Each wireless company has a website from which you can send free Text Messages

Method 2: By email

you can send emails to your friends' cell phones directly from your email. You just need to know the number and the carrier of the recipient to start emailing them to their cell phone. Here is a list of the emails of different carriers. You need to replace the part before the "@" with your friend's number.
