The Ultimate How-To

Want to know how to fend off a shark, save on gas, build a picket fence, or soak a stamp off of an envelope? FindHow.com makes it easy to find authoritative information on how to do just about anything related to your car, career, home, education, family relationships, travel, holidays and more.

You can browse information by category or do a search. The search feature isn’t as intuitive as you might want. When I typed in “how to manage email” the top results were about being or becoming a manager. Still if you need instructions on how to get something done, its a good place to start.

Send Text Messages to Cell Phones from Your Computer

To send a text message from your computer determine the correct SMS email format for the recipient’s cell service carrier. See below for SMS email formats for the major carriers.
