当您想联系某人时，您并不总是想公开进行。无论是您自己的隐私还是与您有关的信息的敏感性，您可能会发现自己正在寻找一种匿名联系某人的方法。
您可以创建一个匿名 Facebook 帐户(anonymous Facebook account)来联系某人，或使用私人电子邮件服务(use a private email service)。如果这些选项看起来复杂且耗时，您可以向他们发送匿名文本作为替代方案。这是您需要了解的有关匿名短信及其所需工具的所有信息。
注意：(Note:)值得一提的是，几乎所有提到的应用程序和服务都会允许您隐藏您的身份，但如果您做任何违法的事情并且任何执法机构询问您的帐户，这些公司都将合法地向他们提供您的真实身份. 因此，请确保您仅将这些服务用于无害的恶作剧等。
其次，几乎唯一真正有效的服务是您必须付费的服务。如果您尝试免费发送文本，由于“高需求”等原因，它几乎会失败。
如何通过电子邮件发送匿名文本(How to Send an Anonymous Text Via Email)
您不一定需要手机来发送匿名短信。您可以使用几种不同的方式从计算机发送消息(send messages from your computer)。其中之一是使用您的电子邮件向手机发送短信。
但是，要使您的文本匿名，您需要先创建一个新的电子邮件帐户，而不提示您的身份，或者使用不会透露您的个人信息的匿名帐户。然后按照以下步骤使用此电子邮件地址发送匿名文本。
- 确保(Make)您拥有要发短信的人的正确电话号码。它是您用于发送文本的电子邮件地址的一部分。
- 找出他们使用的电话运营商：AT&T、Verizon、T-mobile或其他。您将需要手机运营商的域名用于电子邮件转文本地址。要了解此人使用的运营商，请直接询问他们或使用允许您查找的网站(websites that allow you to look it up)之一。
- 把这个人的电子邮件地址放在一起。取电话号码数字，然后添加运营商域。
以下是一些流行的运营商域的示例：
- AT&T – @txt.att.net (短信(SMS)), @mms.att.net (彩信(MMS))
- 威瑞森(Verizon)——@vtext.com（短信(SMS)），@vzwpix.com（彩信(MMS)）
- T-Mobile – @tmomail.net
- 冲刺(Sprint)——@messaging.sprintpcs.com
- Alltel——@message.alltel.com(Alltel) _
- Boost Mobile – @myboostmobile.com
- 板球(Cricket)——@sms.mycricket.com、@mms.mycricket.com
- Metro PCS – @mymetropcs.com
- Nextel – @messaging.nextel.com
- SunCom – @tms.suncom.com
- 美国手机(US Cellular)- @email.uscc.net
- (VoiceStream)语音流–@voicestream.net
- 像往常一样撰写(Compose)电子邮件并将其发送到此人的手机。
如果您希望您的电子邮件看起来更像文本，请确保将其构建为文本消息并将主题(Subject)行留空。由于您在此电子邮件帐户上没有任何个人信息，因此此人将收到一条匿名短信。
允许您发送匿名文本的移动应用程序(Mobile Apps That Allow You to Send Anonymous Texts)
如果您更喜欢使用手机匿名发送短信，您可以使用允许它的移动消息应用程序之一来做到这一点。在您这样做之前，请检查您将要使用的应用程序是否(the app you’re about to use is secure)具有强大的加密机制是安全的。
以下是我们可以推荐的两个应用程序：
Signal提供强大的端到端加密，不存储任何数据，并享有最安全的信使(the most secure messengers)之一的声誉。该应用程序带有隐藏来电显示的选项，因此您可以匿名打电话或发短信。寻找“密封发件人”(Sealed Sender)选项，以将匿名消息发送给最终允许它的任何人。
Signal 兼容Android和iOS，您可以免费下载和使用。
TextMe Up允许您使用多个电话号码并向美国和加拿大(Canada)的任何号码发送免费的无限短信。对于发短信，即使他们不是TextMe Up用户，您也无需购买任何计划分钟数即可向任何人发送消息。您还可以使用TextMe Up发送图片、录音和视频通话。
TextMe Up 支持iOS和Android，并且可以免费使用。高级订阅可以无限拨打和发短信给美国和加拿大(Canada)的电话号码。
(Phoner)当您希望发送无法追溯到您的匿名文本时，Phoner是另一个很好的解决方案。该应用程序允许您每次从一个随机电话号码发送私人文本，或者获取一个固定的第二个电话号码用于发短信和打电话。
注册过程非常简单，只需要您的电子邮件地址。之后，您可以开始免费发短信和匿名打电话。首次打开应用程序时，您将获得 100 个积分，即 5 分钟，以及 5 条可免费使用的文本。在那之后，你必须购买更多的信用才能获得更多的分钟和文本。
Phone 提供不同等级的积分包，您可以从 7.99 美元购买包含 5500 个积分的Silver Credit Pack 。该应用程序本身可免费下载用于Android和iOS。
如果您正在寻找用于私人短信和通话的高级应用程序，CoverMe可能是您的最佳选择。这是一个安全的应用程序，可让您获得第二个电话号码，以便在全球范围内匿名发送消息。
您还可以使用相同（或不同）号码私下呼叫某人、发送消失的消息以及撤回已发送的消息。CoverMe使用端到端加密，因此您不必担心您的消息和通话记录保持私密。您还可以设置密码来锁定应用程序并将其用作私人保险箱，以将媒体文件保存在智能手机上。
当您首次注册时，CoverMe会要求您输入电子邮件地址、密码、您的年龄和性别身份。之后，您将被重定向到可以选择第二个电话号码的页面。然后你就可以开始打电话和发短信了。
CoverMe有 3 种不同的套餐，包含 200 条文本和 200 分钟语音的小套餐(Small Package)起价为 9.99 美元。该应用程序适用于Android和iOS。
如何在线发送匿名文本(How to Send an Anonymous Text Online)
当您需要向某人的手机发送匿名短信时，您无需下载和安装任何额外的软件。相反，您可以使用基于网络的工具在线进行。
匿名文本(Text)是在世界任何地方发送匿名文本的最佳网站。发送一条最多 160 个字符的文本要花费 1.49 美元，这绝对是很多，但在我的测试中，文本消息实际上通过了，并且几乎立即到达。
您只需将 +1 更改为所需国家/地区的国家代码即可发送国际短信。下面提到的所有免费服务在我的测试中都不是很好。消息要么没有到达我的手机，要么是几个小时后才收到。
不幸的是，没有任何方法可以查看对您的短信的回复。它基本上是一种单向短信服务。
向您发送无法追踪的消息(Send Messages That Can’t Be Traced Back to You)
即使您使用声称向收件人隐藏您的 ID 的服务，这也不足以让您的通信真正匿名。如果您担心自己的隐私，最好不要在发送消息时使用您的个人手机或电脑。
使用代理服务器或 VPN(proxy server or a VPN)可以提高您保持完全匿名的机会。如果您最终使用浏览器发送消息，请确保在隐身(Incognito)模式下进行。

How to Send an Anonymous Text Message That Can’t Be Traced Back to You
When you want to reach out to someone, you don’t alwaуs want to do it publicly. Whether it’s your own privacy or the sensitivity оf the information that concerns you, yоu might find yourself looking for a way to reach out to someone anonymously.
You can create an anonymous Facebook account to contact someone, or use a private email service. If those options seem complicated and time-consuming, you can send them an anonymous text as an alternative. Here’s everything you need to know about anonymous texting and the tools that you need for it.
Note: It’s worth mentioning that pretty much all the apps and services mentioned will allow you to hide your identity, but if you do anything illegal and any law enforcement agency inquires about your account, the companies will all legally have to give them your real identity. So make sure you’re using these services only for harmless pranks, etc.
Secondly, pretty much the only services that actually work are the ones where you have to pay. If you try to send texts for free, it pretty much fails due to “high demand”, etc.
How to Send an Anonymous Text Via Email
You don’t necessarily need a phone to send anonymous texts. There are a few different ways that you can use to send messages from your computer. One of them is by using your email to text cell phones.
However, to make your text anonymous, you’ll need to create a new email account first without any hint to your identity, or use an anonymous one that won’t disclose your personal information. Then use this email address to send an anonymous text by following the steps below.
- Make sure you have the right phone number of the person you’re going to text. It’s a part of the email address you’ll use to send the text.
- Find out what phone carrier they’re using: AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile, or something else. You will need the domain names for the cell phone carrier to use for the email-to-text address. To find out what carrier the person’s using, ask them directly or use one of the websites that allow you to look it up.
- Put together the person’s email address. Take the phone number digits, then add the carrier domain.
Here are the examples of some of the popular carrier domains:
- AT&T – @txt.att.net (SMS), @mms.att.net (MMS)
- Verizon – @vtext.com (SMS), @vzwpix.com (MMS)
- T-Mobile – @tmomail.net
- Sprint – @messaging.sprintpcs.com
- Alltel – @message.alltel.com
- Boost Mobile – @myboostmobile.com
- Cricket – @sms.mycricket.com, @mms.mycricket.com
- Metro PCS – @mymetropcs.com
- Nextel – @messaging.nextel.com
- SunCom – @tms.suncom.com
- US Cellular – @email.uscc.net
- VoiceStream – @voicestream.net
- Compose an email as you normally do and send it to the person’s phone.
If you want your email to look more like a text, make sure to structure it as a text message and leave the Subject line blank. As you don’t have any personal information on this email account, the person will receive an anonymous text.
Mobile Apps That Allow You to Send Anonymous Texts
If you prefer using your phone for sending texts anonymously, you can do it by using one of the mobile messaging apps that allow it. Before you do, check that the app you’re about to use is secure with strong encryption mechanisms.
Here are two apps we can recommend:
Signal offers strong end-to-end encryption that doesn’t store any data and has a reputation of one of the most secure messengers out there. The app comes with an option to hide your caller ID, so you can call or text anonymously. Look for the Sealed Sender option to send anonymous messages to anyone who has allowed it at their end.
Signal is compatible with both Android and iOS, and you can download and use it for free.
TextMe Up allows you to use multiple phone numbers and send free unlimited texts to any number in the US and Canada. For texting, you don’t have to buy any plan minutes to send messages to anyone even if they aren’t TextMe Up users. You can also use TextMe Up for sending pictures, voice recordings, and video calls too.
TextMe Up supports both iOS and Android and is free to use. A premium subscription opens up unlimited calling and texting to US & Canada phone numbers.
Phoner is another great solution for when you’re looking to send an anonymous text that can’t be traced back to you. The app allows you to either send private texts from a random phone number every time or get a fixed second phone number for texting and calling.
The signup process is very easy and only requires your email address. After that, you can start texting and calling anonymously for free. When you first open the app, you get 100 credits, which translates into 5 minutes, and 5 texts that you can use for free. After that, you’ll have to purchase more credit to get more minutes and texts.
Phone offers different tier credit packs that you can purchase starting at $7.99 for a Silver Credit Pack that includes 5500 credits. The app itself is free to download for both Android and iOS.
If you’re looking for a premium app for private text messaging and calling, CoverMe is probably your best choice. It’s a secure app that allows you to get a second phone number to send your messages across the globe anonymously.
You can also use the same (or a different) number to privately call someone, send disappearing messages, and recall sent messages. CoverMe uses end-to-end encryption so you don’t have to worry about your message and call history staying private. You can also set up a password to lock the app and use it as a private safe to keep your media files on your smartphone.
When you first register, CoverMe will ask you to enter an email address, a password, your age and gender identity. After that you’ll be redirected to a page where you can select your second phone number. Then you can start calling and texting.
CoverMe has 3 different packages, starting at $9.99 for a Small Package with 200 texts and 200 voice minutes included. The app is available for both Android and iOS.
How to Send an Anonymous Text Online
You don’t have to download and install any extra software when you need to send an anonymous text message to someone’s phone. Instead, you can use a web-based tool to do it online.
Anonymous Text is the best site for sending an anonymous text anywhere in the world. It costs a $1.49 to send a single text up to 160 characters, which is definitely a lot, but the text message actually went through in my test and it reached almost instantly.
You can send an international text by simply changing the +1 to the country code for your desired country. All of the free services mentioned below didn’t work very well in my tests. Either the message didn’t arrive on my phone or it came only after several hours.
Unfortunately, there isn’t any way to view a response to your text message. It’s basically a one-way texting service.
Send Messages That Can’t Be Traced Back to You
Even if you use a service that claims to hide your ID from the recipient, that’s not enough for your communication to be truly anonymous. If you’re worried about your privacy, it’s best not to use your personal phone or computer when sending a message.
Using a proxy server or a VPN improves your chances of staying completely anonymous. If you end up using your browser to send a message, make sure you do it in Incognito mode.
