Send text messages to anyone on Cricket.
You can send a text message to someone, or yourself, with Cricket cell phone service from your computer using email. By using Cricket's email suffix, the email gets forwarded to the phone and appears as a text. Just remember to keep the email short because most phones can only contain 160 characters or less in one message.
