can send a Text message to someone's Cell Phone. Note: My brother
has a land line (NO cell phone).
I did a google search and at microsoft's web site for Windows 10,
the information I saw had to do with using a Phone App, then select
Message, etc.
My brother lives far from me. I would like to send him an email
with the information.
Did Windows 10 come with a Phone app with the ability to Text?
No, but other people solved it.
First learn the name of
what is cellular provider for this number
So the answer to my own qustion is:
https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-carrier-lookup
https://www.hlrlookup.com/
And probably, but I haven't tried it
https://freecarrierlookup.com/
When you know the provider, you can go to this page and find how to
email a text to the phone:
https://www.notepage.net/smtp.htm
For example, to text a Verizon phone, send an eamail to 10digitphonenumber@vtext.com
unfortunately, Verizon has two other choices,
@myvzw.com and @vswpix.com
But 99% of the others only have one.
Even though I use Mint Mobile, the email address is tmobile.
OTOH a friend who uses Cricket has a cricket email address.
No more lifting that heavy phone to make a text when you are already at
your keyboard.
Thank You in advance, John
