Today's post is a little tech trick that many people still do not realize is possible and as well can save money if you do not have unlimited text, but you have a laptop or are near it during text conversations. To start IT is about information technology, for example using computers, cell phones, smart phones and networks for advance of business or even everyday convenience. So for example some one keeps sending you texts and you would like to respond from a laptop. The task of using email to send a text is rather quite easy and most cell carriers allow and provide a way to do so, which again is why this is considered IT, the freelance part here is that I am teaching you about this.
I should mention that security of text or sms when sending via email or text from one phone to another is not 100% secure. IT security is what just one of the subjects that our company specializes in and is forever evolving in this brave new world. We are not insinuating that you would have to worry about a simple "running 5 minutes late for dinner mom" type text but people use cell phone text messages for business all the time and for all intensive purposes business and company espionage is a real matter in today's world. Seeing this is a reality and that your boss would not want for example "vital company information to be compromised", then use this information wisely. Of course there are different ways to hide who you are and to encrypt the information being sent. If you would like consultation in this matter we do provide consultation and services on such matters at affordable and as well minimal rates to enhance both business and personal security of IT based matters. Just as a sample situation even a application such as snap chat is not fool proof (full proof) and can be circumvented. Say a partner sends you a message with a picture of themselves in a precarious manner via Snapchat, and you are a geek then you may be able to screenshot (a screenshot is a capture of the screen on your phone, mobile or computer device.) a version of the message or image that was sent via text or sms. This is yet again a another way that you could be caught permanently with your junk being displayed to the world .... whatever that junk may be. So be smart and think first before texting something that may make sense at 2 am in the morning when normally many peoples judgement is clouded by lack of sleep. I will explain this in more depth in a future article, so please help us out via following and commenting on this blog, following and liking our Facebook Page for Freelance IT, and also if you need security, tech services and even graphics for your next project or website then visit one of our websites to contact us for your next project listed here.
