I assume that you are using Cingular wireless. If not, then you will need to look up the same information for your specific provider. They are basically the same. Also, verify the cost of using the service. You can quickly build up your phone bill if you don't have the right plan. I believe they charges extra for messaging. There are a few methods for sending messages. First, you can use some of the instant messangers (AIM - AOL Instant Messanger or Yahoo Messenger). You must sign up for it at http://www.cingular.com/media/instant_messaging. Second, You can receive Email's which you can sign up for at http://www.cingular.com/media/mobile_email. Third, text messaging through various medium. E.g. web, email, and others. You need to sign up for this too at http://www.cingular.com/media/text_messaging Once you have signed up the messaging methods, then that will determine how you use the facility and would be too long and involved to describe here.

There are several online services that allow you to send text messages to cell phones from a computer, two that I am somewhat familiar with are SMS at smseverywhere.com and Cellphonemessagesender.com These can be found on the internet using a search engine like Google or Yahoo. They are easy and straightforward to use, although I don't know how effective they are.

Usually they just ask for your phone number (with area code) and an email address. This one does most services. The only drawback is that you have a 100 character limit. I've used web SMS plenty of times and never had a problem. http://www.onlinetextmessage.com/att-text-message.php

Send a message from your phone to an email address and your phone's address will show up. If that's simple enough

If it's under 10 digits (CSC), you should try this site. Most only allow full 10 digit numbers, but this one routes them through their GSM modem, if it's CSC. I ran a radio contest a few weeks ago, and we had a 5 digit code. I sent some test texts to our number, and it worked perfectly. A little delayed (maybe a minute or so), but still got there eventually. They allow 10 digits numbers too, those are much easier to test. Those come through almost immediately. Don't take my word for it, test it yourself! www.fivedigittext.com
