Anyone know how to do this? I searched on google, but most sites are bullshit ass splattered with ads.

You used to be able to go onto the Telus site and send free text messages from there, not sure if it still works though, this was a good 6-8 years ago.

Being cheap is OK. Being a clueless sanctimonious condescending douchebag is just Vlad's MO.

Yahoo has the option in it's mail service. No idea if there's a fee involved though.

Last I checked you could do it via Rogers and Fido… not sure about other providers. Go to their website… look for something mentioning texting online, make a (free) account, start sending messages.

Should be along those lines.

The Telus free text message page only works for sending to a Telus subscriber. I've used it recently and it does work.
