Texting Tip: Text from email (At&T) free

It's free to text from your email software to someone's phone, (to an AT&T customer). They will be charged in accordance with their plan, but you will not be charged at all. It's handy if you're already working on the computer, and need to shoot someone a quick note. But you need to have their number memorized, or nearby! 

DIRECTIONS:

Put this in your email "To:" field to send a text message. You must put the recipient's number in place of the numbers shown below--obviously.

5706402005@txt.att.net

(This may possbily work with other mobile phone service providers. Try it, and find out. Please let me know!  For instance, would this work with a T-mobile customer? 578-478-9837@txt.tmobile.net)
