If you’re like most people, you probably use text messages to communicate with friends and family. But if you’re like me, you may be wondering how to send text messages for free without any contracts or fees. There are a few ways to do this, but the best way is to use a third-party app like WhatsApp or Viber. These apps allow you to send text messages for free without any contracts or fees. To start sending text messages for free, first open the app and sign in. Then, type in your message address and click send. You can also use the chat function on the app to send texts. If you want to send a message that costs money, there are a few ways to do this. For example, if you want to send a message that costs $0.50 per minute, then you would need to type in $0.50 as your message address and click Send Message. Alternatively, some companies offer texting plans that include free messaging for certain periods of time (like 24 hours). So be sure to check out the terms and conditions of these plans before starting sends!
