Is there a webpage where you input a phone number and it replies with
the cellular provider.
I think someone here once said there was, but I may be mixing things up.
I'm finally convinced that some people are more likely or quicker to see
a text than play voicemail and I like that I can just send an email to a >cellphone and it turns, like a caterpiller, into a text.
I had googled and found nothing, but I found better search words:
what is cellular provider for this number
So the answer to my own qustion is:
https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-carrier-lookup
https://www.hlrlookup.com/
And probably, but I haven't tried it
https://freecarrierlookup.com/
When you know the provider, you can go to this page and find how to
email a text to the phone:
https://www.notepage.net/smtp.htm
For example, to text a Verizon phone, send an eamail to
10digitphonenumber@vtext.com
unfortunately, Verizon has two other choices,
@myvzw.com and @vswpix.com
But 99% of the others only have one.
Even though I use Mint Mobile, the email address is tmobile.
OTOH a friend who uses Cricket has a cricket email address.
No more lifting that heavy phone to make a text when you are already at
your keyboard.
