How do I send a message with TextFree Web?

TextFree Web allows you to send and receive messages from your computer, without the need for a mobile phone.

Note: TextFree Web does not support texting to international numbers. 

FYI: You cannot send audio messages via TextFree Web, however, you may receive and listen to them. Simply click the play button on the audio message within the conversation.  

To send a new message:

1. Sign into TextFree Web (if you don't have an account, you can sign up here)
2. Click the "Compose" button (top-right)
3. Enter the contact name to search or enter the complete number into the To: field 
4. Locate & click the contact/number from the drop-down list or click enter once you've typed in the number (the name/number displays in purple when successfully added to the new message)
5. Type your message into the text message field
6. Once you've composed the message, click the "up arrow" or press 'Enter' to send the message

Note: If you use TextFree for mobile, those contacts don't automatically sync to TextFree Web, thus you will not be able to search (seen in step #3 above) unless there is an existing message in your inbox. Learn how to automatically sync your contacts using our Google Contacts sync feature.

To send a message to an existing conversation: 

1. Locate the existing conversation in your inbox and click on it
2. Type your text message into the text field
3. When done, click the "up arrow" button to send

To rename the conversation:

1. Click on the small triangle  to the right of their number to view contact edit options > Click rename
2. Other options: Set Text Tone, Delete Conversation, or Block Number
