Text Messaging From Your MySpace Profile Page

Guess what? Now you can text your friends right from your MySpace profile page! No more texting with one eye on the computer screen to see what’s happening online. You can text back and forth with anyone who has a cell phone once you add this nifty little to your page. The texting is anonymous, meaning that your cell phone number does not show up, so you don’t have to worry about someone on the internet getting hold of it.

This cool widget also works around the world – and it’s free! So, not only are you going to save time and aggravation, you could potentially save some money too if your cell plan charges on a per message basis.

Do a Google search for TextForFree – all one word. When your results come back, choose one of the first ones to go to the web site where you can download the widget. Once you are at the page, make your choices carefully, or the code that is generated will probably not work properly.

Let’s get started. First, type in your cell phone number. Next, you will see the words Button Text, with a box beside them that you are to type into. What’s this for? Simply type in a few words you’d like to appear on a button that will be on the widget. This author chose to put “Text Me!” on the button. Next, you’ll see the words Default Message Text. This one is pretty obvious… type in a short message like “Hi There!” Now, you will choose your cell phone provider. Click the button to fill it in beside the one your phone is with. Now you can click on the words Get Code.

There’s your code! Now, all you have to do is copy and paste this code into your MySpace profile.

Go to MySpace and click on the Edit My Profile link. When you get to the editing page, choose an area to paste the code into. Many people place the code in the About Me section. Preview your profile, and you should see the widget. Now you are ready to Save All Changes, and then View My Profile to see how it all looks.

Now you are all set! You can send and receive text messages right from your MySpace profile page! Have fun!
