Yahoo! Mail Adds SMS With Your Contacts
There are times where using SMS/text messaging is more appropriate than email or a simple phone call. The problem is typing on the cellphone is not quite natural for lots of people.
Today I was notified that Yahoo! Mail’s text messaging feature, you can also reach out to friends and family through their SMS-enabled mobile devices, without having to use a separate text messaging application.
You know the kind of situation. You’re at the office and your teenager and her cell phone are out there somewhere. You need to know what she’s up to, but you don’t really want all your cubicle neighbors to listen in on a phone conversation. You can simply sit at your computer, send a text message to your child using Yahoo! Mail, and receive an immediate response.
So, let’s just repeat the highlights and get you texting!
- Text messaging lets you communicate with your contacts in real time so that you receive instant replies.
- Use text messaging to communicate with all of your Yahoo! contacts who have an SMS-enabled mobile phone or other communications device.
- Use Yahoo! Mail text messaging without downloading additional software.
- Convert a chat conversation or email message in progress to a text message—and vice versa.
Start using it today!
