Submitted by Tucker Prescott

Once you know how to do it, text messaging will be a breeze. But when you first get started it can be quite frustrating. Don’t fret! With time and patience and these how-to steps, you’ll be a texting whiz!

How to Send a Text Message

  1. Decide whom you want to text and what you want to write

    Remember to keep it simple. It’s hard to read lengthy texts.

    1. Go to the main menu of your cell phone

      This is where all of your icons are.

      1. Select your “Messages” or “SMS” icon

        This will vary for different phones, but it will most likely look like an image of an envelope.

        1. Select “Create A New Message”

          When you select to create a new message, a blank text box will appear.

          1. Start typing away!

            Each number on your keypad corresponds to a set of alphabetical letters, which should be labeled on the key. Hitting a number key will type out the first letter that it corresponds with. For example, typing “2″ accesses “A”, “B”, and “C”. Hitting the “2″ key once will type out an “A”. To type a “B” or “C”, you have to hit the “2″ key twice quickly or three times quickly, respectively.

            1. Select the number or contact you’d like to send your message to

              Once you’ve selected your contact, all you have to is click “Send” and wait until you get the confirmation that your message has been sent!
