2 : "You will get 8 text messages in total" correct?

3 : "You will get 8 text messgages totally" correct?

4 : "I'll sign up for evening classes" means that i'll sign a form that i'll teach evening classes, right?

Hi,

I wouldn't accept (3).

(4) isn't clear. I would assume that it means that you are going to be a student. If you mean you are going to teach, you would say: 'I'll sign up to teach evening classes.

Does it make sense if I say "You'll get 8 text messages in total" ?

Thanks
