How to send text message when phone is disconnected

To send text message when phone is disconnected, you simply have to use google voice and this will send text messages to any phone number you wish to send messages or calls. 

As long as it involves sending text messages and calls, I always recommend Google voice cause it works like the normal phone app. That is to say you can use Google voice to send tons of text messages from your mobile phone, receive tons of text messages, make and receive calls as well.

Tbe best part of it is that the recipient mustn’t have a google voice account in order to receive your text messages and calls.

This is one of the disadvantage of using instant messaging apps like whatsapp, Skype, Facebook messenger, telegram, imessage, etc. The recipient must have these apps installed on their phones and also have an account with the instant messaging apps else nothing will work.

Now let’s proceed on how to get started with Google voice on your mobile phone.

To get started i recommend you to first download and install the google voice app on your android phone or on your Iphone or iPad.

So you better enter a valid phone number or phone number that is active and Google will send a six digit code to the phone number.

That’s it.

You have now verified and created a Google voice account, and using the number assigned to you, you can easily text someone or call any phone number using your google voice account while your phone is being disconnected.

I always recommend to use google voice apps to text someone whenever you phone number has been disconnected by your service network carrier though the app is limited to few countries.

To send a text message using the Google voice, Kindly open the app or open the tab for Messages Messages tab and at the top, click Send a message.

Enter a contact’s name or phone number. To create a group text message, add up to 7 names or phone numbers. Group messages can have up to 8 participants, including the person who sends the message.

Finally, at the bottom, enter your message, and hit on the Send button. That’s it, you have successfully send an sms text message using the Google voice.

Remember, it doesn’t use cellular network service but rather the internet and whereas it doesn’t consume data at all.

What happens if you text someone whose phone is disconnected?

If you happens to text someone whose phone is disconnected, the message will automatically fail. Once a phone number is disconnected by the service provider, sent text message will show failed as the messages won’t go through.

Once you know that a recipient phone has been disconnected, there’s no need sending text messages to the phone number cause that will be a waste of time instead use any of the instant messaging apps to send the messages.

Aside from text messages, you can’t call a disconnected phone. Once a phone is disconnected by the service network provider, cellular network will no longer be available on the phone until the phone is connected once again.

How do you make it seem your phone is disconnected?

To make it seem your phone is disconnected, all you have to do is to record the message tone and use it as your ringback tone. Immediately the caller heard it, he or she will think that your line has been disconnected by the network service provider.

However, this works perfect with an active voicemail as the call afterwards will be redirected straight to voicemail.

All you have to do is to record it on your phone and use it as your ringback tone. I do believe that all network service providers do offer ringback tone to their subscribers.

This is the only solution on how to make it seem your phone is disconnected when someone is calling your phone number.

Talking about How to send text message when phone is disconnected, using the Google voice is the best option I have for you unless you go ahead to use any of the free sms text apps or the instant messaging apps.
