Ask if another family member has an email account that can be used. If this is not possible, ask for follow-up information and we can both provide this how-to but also walk them through setting up an email account.
Additionally, some mobile providers have one-way emails that customers can use (customers can receive but not send emails). Some examples are below:
- AT&T – phonenumber@txt.att.net
- T-Mobile – phonenumber@tmomail.net
- Sprint – phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
- Verizon – phonenumber@vtext.com or phonenumber@vzwpix.com
- Virgin Mobile – phonenumber@vmbol.com
