  2. Compose a new email by clicking on the "Compose" button.
  3. Enter the recipient's phone number in the "To" field, followed by the carrier's SMS prefix (e.g., 1 for AT&T, 2 for T-Mobile, etc.).
  4. Type your message in the body of the email.
  5. Click the "Send" button to send the text message.

Method 2: Using a third-party SMS service

  1. Sign up for a third-party SMS service like Twilio, Nexmo, or Plivo.
  2. Create a new account and obtain an API key or account credentials.

  4. Enter the recipient's phone number and your message in the service's interface.
  5. Click the "Send" button to send the text message.
