Text Messaging by Email
Almost all phone carriers allow messages to be sent to cell phones through email. Simply send a regular email to the users 10 digit phone number @ the carrier's extension. Although sending messages through Procare is free the person receiving the message will be charged at the normal text messaging rates by their phone provider. Since many people have plans that include unlimited texting this is usually not an issue.
