Is there a way to text to a phone from the computer (not e-mail) or do you have to have a text capable phone to send a text message? |

You can send SMS via Skype, or with a Google Voice account. |

iChat (and likely AIM) will as well. |

If you are with T-Mobile you can send one from your online account page. |

http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/939/sms_ ... on_virgin/ Quote: Sending SMS through email is very, very easy. If you can be reminded through email, you can now be reminded through SMS. I have email reminders sent to me for everything. If you know the correct email address, you can also send these messages to your cellular phone. Here are the email addresses for the 6 most popular cellular phone carriers: T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com where phonenumber = your 10 digit phone number SMS through email for US Cellular, SunCom, Powertel, AT&T, Metro PCS and Alltel are available here. The article is from 2005, but I tested the T-Mobile one, and it still works, at the least. |

A text to my iPhone using the ten_digit_number@cingularme.com worked just fine, and it correctly identified my name, the subject and the body of the mail message. I was also able to reply to the text and it was sent to my mail account. |
