·         Go to ‘Menu’ on your phone

·         Click on ‘Messages’

·         You want to then click on ‘Send a Message’ or ‘New Text Message’

·         Click ‘ok’ or ‘enter’

·         It will then ask you who you want to ‘send to’ (this is the phone number or in this case, this is where you put the 5-digit phone number that you heard on-air). You want to ‘send to’ the number 42450

o      NOTE: Depending upon what type of phone you have you will be asked to enter the ‘recipient’, ‘contact’, ‘number’ or ‘send to’ on your phone and then be asked to enter the ‘message’. It could be the other way around where it asks for the ‘Message’ before the number to ‘send to’, again depending upon what type of phone you have.

 

·         It will then ask you for the ‘Message’. This is where you put your vote, comment or question. For example, the poll question for Tuesday “Do you think Ichiro will hit over 300 this season? Text ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to 42450.

·         So you would write either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in the Message section of your text message

·         You will then have the option to click ‘send’ or ‘ok’

·         Once you click ‘send’ or ‘ok’ you should get a message on your phone that says ‘Message Sent’. If you get an error message or your message does not send, this could be because you do not have text messaging on your phone plan or you did not include the number to send to.
