Is there a way to text message a cell phone through the computer without using ICQ?

Most cell providers have the feature on their website. Go to the website of the company that is providing the service to the cell you are trying to message. I know for a fact t-mobile has it. I'm not sure about the rest.

Certainly. Every carrier i know of (AT&T, Cingular, T-Mo, Sprint, Nextel) has the ability to do this on their webpage.

For quick access to Texting, get on AIM and send a message to a buddy named "+1areacodenumber" sans quotes. Ex: +15865551212

The message will be sent to their phone, and they'll even have the opportunity to send messages back to you.

I have verizon and vtext.com is where i go to text message. I do it from online because it costs me .08 to send and .02 to recieve so if i send on web to my girlfriend who is also on my plan, it only costs us .02 rather than .10... and after awhile those cents add up... i really need to purchase the text messaging feature for 2.99 for 100 text messages. Why can't it be unliimited though!!!

I hear you...its sucks...Mine is unlimited for now since I'm new to it

I made a webpage to do it for me, part of an ASP.NET application. It works with T-Mobile (my carrier) but if you wanted I could probably make one for you. Just IM me or something and let me know. The way I set mine up is to allow you to go to the page and tell it in querystring what you want it to send and to who, like: "tmobilesms.aspx?to=12345678910&from=bob&msg=bob%20says%20hi". Of course if you type directly into the address bar, you don't have to use %20.

Edit: By the way, it does use T-Mobile's website to send, that's why it only works with T-Mobile. The good thing is I can make anything access a page with a querystring much easier than I can make it visit a page and fill in fields and submit them. ;)

    • It sometimes comes down to leadership. Where Panos Panay was more about new features and strageic ads, the new lead for Windows seems to be more about fixing performance and consistency along with moving more components to the new settings app. Also for the first time, the Xbox team is allowed to play under the hood and tweaking the OS for what could be a Game Ready Edition. I like the new direction but it was a longer than expected journey.
