Text Messaging With Your Contacts

What Is Text Messaging in Rogers Yahoo! Mail?

Email and chatting are great when you want to communicate with friends on computers. Now with Rogers Yahoo! Mail’s text messaging feature, you can also reach out to friends and family through their SMS-enabled mobile devices, without having to use a separate text messaging application.

You know the kind of situation. You’re at the office and your teenager and her cell phone are out there somewhere. You need to know what she’s up to, but you don’t really want all your cubicle neighbors to listen in on a phone conversation. You can simply sit at your computer, send a text message to your child using Rogers Yahoo! Mail, and receive an immediate response.
