A text message, also known as an SMS, has become a popular means of communicating as cell phones increase in popularity. If you only have something brief to say that does not merit a phone call, sending a text message can be a good alternative. However, if you have a text message you wish to send later but don't have the time or the memory to do to it later on, there are several methods you can use to send your text in a few minutes or a few hours.
Step
If your telephone has the option to send a delayed text message, write your text message as normal and go to "Options" rather than to the "Send" button. Many phones now have "Send Later" as an option, in which case you can enter the date and time you would like the message sent. Note that your phone will have to be on at the time in the future you would like to send the message, or this will not work.
Step
Enter the web address for Text Memos in your browser. This will direct you to www.textmemos.com, a website that will send your text message later.
