Sending a free SMS comes down to a form, a number, and a message. With Envoyer SMS Gratuit, you reach a French mobile in a few seconds, without installing anything and without paying. Here is the procedure, field by field.

## In three steps

1. **Enter the number** of the recipient: a French mobile starting with 06 or 07.
2. **Write your message** within the limit of 160 characters, the size of a standard SMS.
3. **Confirm the send**: the message goes out immediately to the recipient's phone.

No sign-up, no app, no bank card, no advertising. The detailed guide to [send a free SMS](/guides/send-a-free-sms) covers each step.

## The form in detail

The **number** field expects a French mobile in the 06 or 07 format (ten digits). Landline numbers and short numbers are not supported, as the service is designed for mobile messaging.

The **message** field holds up to 160 characters. That's the length of a standard SMS: beyond it, a text would be fragmented, so the tool helps you stay within this limit for a clean, readable send.

## What the service offers

- **Free**: no cost, no credit to buy, no hidden limit behind a subscription.
- **No sign-up**: no account to create, no email to confirm, you send directly.
- **No advertising**: the message that arrives at the recipient's end contains no commercial insert.

## What to know before sending

- **The send is one-way**: the recipient receives the text but cannot reply on this channel.
- **Text only**: the service sends SMS, not photos or attachments.
- **Check the number**: one wrong digit and the message goes out to the wrong mobile, as with any SMS.

## Responsible use

Being free does not permit everything. Sends are logged and any abusive use (harassment, threats, spam) is prohibited. Used correctly, Envoyer SMS Gratuit remains a simple and fast way to alert, confirm, or help out a loved one by SMS, without spending a cent.
