Things to Consider When Sending Anonymous Texts
Before we share how to send an anonymous text, consider some things. Let’s look at them:
- Anonymity is not always anonymous: Anonymous texting apps or services ensure that you keep your identity private. That doesn’t mean you are not trackable. If you use your device or internet connection, law enforcement agencies can track you if you do something illegal. While we can’t fully confirm protection, it’s best to go with a VPN service to ensure your presence on the internet stays hidden.
- Use caution and respect: Only use anonymous texting apps for ethical reasons. Avoid using it to harass anyone, spread misinformation, or other illegal activities. Remember that your actions can have consequences, even if your identity is concealed.
Text Someone Anonymously
Method 1: Using Third-Part Apps (TextMe)
Many third-party services allow you to send anonymous text using Android or iPhone. We will show you one example using the TextMe app.
Step 1: Install the app and set up your account (this is only for the first time) and then tap Numbers.
Step 2: Tap Get a 1st phone number.
Step 3: This will be followed by a region section page. Afterward, choose from any of the phone numbers mentioned.
You must choose a premium plan to use any of the numbers mentioned above. Once selected, you can use this number to log in to any popular messaging app and send anonymous texts.
Method 2: SMS via Email
Many US carriers offer the ability to send anonymous text using email. All you have to do is follow these steps:
