despite being
a nearly 30 year old standard
sms is still relied on daily by millions
of people around the globe
texting has never been easier than it is
in 2020 with most messaging clients able
to sync between devices to let you
answer texts from anywhere of course sms
isn't built to be
a completely anonymous standard with
nearly every text message
you send containing information that
tracks back to the sender
if you're looking to send a text
anonymously it's not as easy as picking
up your phone and adding some additional
numbers in front of a contact
instead you'll need to turn to an
outside source to send anonymous texts
and you'll want to do so with the utmost
caution
if you're really just looking to send a
single message texting a number from an
anonymous email address is the way to go
you'll need to make sure you have a few
things in order before doing this
first we recommend signing up for a vpn
in order to ensure that your ip address
is masked
second you'll need to sign up for a new
email account one that isn't tied to you
or your identity
in any way third you'll need to know the
carrier information for the phone number
you're texting
so use carrierlookup.com to find out the
carrier information for your contact
with those steps out of the way you can
finally send your text
each of the four major carriers support
texting a phone number from an email
so check in the description below to
find the email addresses to send your
text to
in all cases you'll need to start by
entering the 10-digit phone number of
your contact
before adding a specific carrier branded
at tag
to your email they're all available in
the description below
so check that out to find the right tag
for your number once you've entered the
phone number
type your message and hit send if this
sounds like a lot of work
or you're looking to maintain an
anonymous and encrypted conversation
turning to apps like signal is the way
to go
signal requires both users to use the
app in order for both sides to be
encrypted
but it's one of the best ways to keep a
conversation secure
the app does support sending sms
messages on android
but just note that your messages sent to
non-signal contacts
won't be encrypted if you like this
