Tips & Warnings
Other email clients besides Yahoo can be used to send text messages to cell phones. However, not all of them will run correctly on the DSi, so be sure to test your email client on the DSi before attempting to send a text.
There are websites that claim they will let you send a text message to a phone. Some of these are legitimate, however, some of them are spam sites designed to collect contact information. Be sure you are using a service you trust.
