Red Toad makes text messaging easier

With the texting feature in Red Toad’s Webmail, moms can instantly send reminder emails to kids and text them at the same time so they don’t forget homework. Sports fans can catch the latest scores and chide their friends who are at the game. All of this from your desktop—which means no clumsy thumbing in messages on your wireless phone anymore.

Here’s how it works: Red Toad customers can access their Web-based email accounts as they always have, but now a drop-down menu gives an option to select email only, text message only or both. A simple cell phone field in the user’s address book drives the feature. In addition, Red Toad includes a function that allows users to keep within the 160 character limit required by cell phone carriers for text messages.

"It is now easier than ever to keep in touch, even when your contacts are out of the office"
