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. ;)

    • I was thinking, and was going to post, almost exactly what @Brandon Hjust posted!   WARNING: possible spoilers I also love these videos she makes:   
    • The Witcher 4 tech demo shows off the RPG in action on a base PS5 at 60FPS by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games' The State of Unreal 2025 keynote happened today, giving a look at its latest improvements to the Unreal Engine, and other developments and partnerships that the Fortnite maker is involved in. The show kicked things off with a bang, giving fans a live on-stage presentation of The Witcher 4 alongside developer CD Projekt RED. Seen below, the tech demo of the hugely anticipated RPG features the new trilogy's protagonist, Ciri, as she explores Kovir, the new mainland that CD Projekt is letting players explore. Following a monster trail, Ciri and her horse Kelpie go through mountains and forests before reaching the town of Valdrest. Surprisingly, the demo is said to be running on a base PlayStation 5, and it even manages to stay at 60 frames per second despite the stunning visuals. The studio said that the technologies it is using will benefit all platforms that it is targeting for the RPG. The Witcher 4 is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 consoles, though a release date has not been revealed yet. "We started our partnership with Epic Games to push open-world game technology forward. To show this early look at the work we’ve been doing using Unreal Engine running at 60 FPS on PlayStation 5, is a significant milestone — and a testament of the great cooperation between our teams," said joint CEO of CD Projekt RED Michał Nowakowski. "But we're far from finished. I look forward to seeing more advancements and inspiring technology from this partnership as development of The Witcher 4 on Unreal Engine 5 continues." The demo showcases tech like Unreal Animation Framework, Nanite Foliage rendering, MetaHuman technology with Mass AI crowd scaling, and more from Epic Games' latest engine developments. Unreal Engine 5.6 is said to include many of these improvements, letting any developer use the tools on their games for better visuals and optimizations.
    • The same guy who promised AGI in a year, and later he said: yes, but no really.
    • Microsoft and security. 🤣 One day, I received a big bill from Microsoft. I checked the log, and the log (not Azure Premium) only lasted a few weeks, so I was unable to find any information about what happened. I checked the bill, and it showed me that somebody (no information) created a big virtual machine for many weeks, then finally deleted it. I contacted support, and they told me that I will get my money back. 8 months later, it never happened. However, the invoices show some weird movements. They indeed did the reverse, but only in the system, but my CC never got the money back. I had a fight with my bank, and my bank finally showed me records that Microsoft never tried to return my money. What happened, who hacked it, and how? Microsoft was unable to answer. My account had a DFA. Conclusion: I should have reported it to my CC.
