garypl Report post Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Send the email to yourself, then open on your phone, copy the information, and forward as a text message - easy to do! (Assuming you can access your email on your phone!) Edited July 27, 2020 by garypl clarification Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retswerb Report post Posted July 28, 2020 As @garypl said I think that’s easiest. Only other option involves using a service like google hangouts that allows to send directly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed in Tx Report post Posted August 15, 2020 Your issue may be the size of the file you are trying to send. Some carriers restrict the file sizes in emails and text messages. Why don't you just use your USB cable and transfer it directly from you desktop to phone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
