For example, to text a Verizon phone, send an eamail to snipped-for-privacy@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.
