Navigate to the Contacts tab.
Select the Contact that you would like to send a text message to.
After clicking on the name of the Contact, the contact card will load on a new screen containing all of the contact's information. At the bottom of the center pane there is a box where you can send either SMS or email messages. Ensure that SMS is selected, and type your message in the box that says, "Type a message."
You can also send attachments and emojis using the icons in the lower right portion of the messaging field.

Tip #1: You can use the Quick Search field to look for your desired contact.

Tip #2: You can schedule your text message to send at a later time; just click the green clock icon beside the "send now" button.

Warning: If the contact does not have a phone number saved, there will not be an option to send SMS messages.
