Sending Text Messages from Wireless Carriers Websites
Once you select the carrier of the phone you want to send the message to, you will be prompted for their phone number (including area code), and of course the actual message you want to send. Most carriers require that your message must be a maximum of 160 characters in length, which is the standard for SMS messages. If your sending your text message to a T-Mobile phone, you're limited to 140 characters.
You may want to add this to your Google bookmarks, especially if you find yourself paying extra to your wireless carrier for text messages each month. (Note that standard text messaging rates apply for the person receiving your message.)
