+To send zephyrs to a phone address as an Athena user, use your favorite zephyr client (see [USING ZEPHYR (A.K.A. ZEPHYR FOR DUMMIES)](http://sipb.mit.edu/doc/zephyr/) if you're not sure what this means) to zwrite `daemon.webzephyr` with a class of `szs` and an instance of `1234567890@servicemail.foo`; for instance, in Barnowl, 

 
        ----> zwrite daemon.webzephyr -c szs -i 1234567890@servicemail.foo
        Hi imaginary friend, how are you doing? I'm sending you a text message through Zephyr.

-where you replace `1234567890@servicemail.foo` with the email address of the person you wish to reach (you can look up the email address for a given cellular provider online). Additionally, if you're not sure what cellular provider your friend has, there are online services where you can look up the number and determine the carrier.

-Messages over 140 chars will get cut off between the phone and Zephyr. The cell phone user will get an `invalidpducontent` error, although the first part of his/her message will get through to Zephyr. On the other hand, messages *from* Zephyr to cellphones can be as long as you like.

 Also, hitting "`r`" in Barnowl to reply to a zephyrgram someone sent as a text message **does not work**. You'll have to hit `[Ctrl-R]` and typing out your friend's email address. (Afterward, you can scroll back to the last one you sent to your friend and hit "`r`", which will work).
