I read the Smart Canucks blog to find out about freebies, sales and deals from Canadian retailers. Periodically, they post a more general money-saving tip.
Today they posted a couple of ways to send a free SMS text message to cell phones from Canadian carriers. You should note: some cell-service providers charge users for incoming text messages. These text messages may be free to send, but could cost the recipient on the other end.
Method 1: From the wireless carrier’s website
Each wireless company has a website from which you can send free Text Messages:
Method 2: By email.

You can easily send emails to your friends’ cell phones directly from your email. You need to know the number and the carrier of the recipient to e-mail messages to their cell phone. Here is a list of the emails of different carriers. You need to replace the part before the “@” with recipient’s number.
  • Rogers Wireless: [10-digit phone number]@pcs.rogers.com
  • Fido: [10-digit phone number]@fido.ca
  • Telus: [10-digit phone number]@msg.telus.com
  • Bell Mobility: [10-digit phone number]@txt.bell.ca
  • Kudo Mobile: [10-digit phone number]@msg.koodomobile.com
  • MTS: [10-digit phone number]@text.mtsmobility.com
  • President’s Choice: [10-digit phone number]@txt.bell.ca
  • Sasktel: [10-digit phone number]@sms.sasktel.com
  • Solo: [10-digit phone number]@txt.bell.ca
  • Virgin: [10-digit phone number]@vmobile.ca
You need to replace the [10-digit phone number] with your friend’s number. For example, If your friend’s number was 613-123-4567 and their carrier was Rogers, you’d send an email to [email protected]
