Text-messaging is fast and convenient. If you don't have access to a cell phone number, all you need is the recipient's mobile number to send a text. There are several online companies that provide this option, but most require the phone carrier as well. Unfortunately, this isn't always an option. Sending a text message to each phone carrier can be time-consuming, leading to more typos or mistakes. Alternatively, you can use an option that automatically finds the carrier for you.
