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. ;)

    • Yeah, just like he was "donating" all this while through the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, nice PR stunt Bill: Who Is Bill Gates? (Full Documentary, 2020)
    • It's odd to call it "totally fine" when it is a blatant violation of the TOS. I'm not attacking the behavior or calling it immoral, do what you want to do, I have no dog in the race. However, you can't say it is fine when the company offering the service explicitly spells it out in the black and white that it is NOT fine. Again, do what you want, I don't care, just have the intellectual honest to acknowledge that you are using a service in a way other than intended.
    • I must be! 🤔 Are you having problems attaching a video from YouTube? Having to add a link instead of simply pasting the URL? I think another member mentioned having the same issue this week?
    • Hopefully Solved for Good Now   Ran WSReset.exe as Admin on Standard User account Prior to that logged into my Admin account that i rarely log into, and went thru Settings, and selected Terminate Store, then Reset, Restarted system. Logged into Standard User MS Account, open Windows Search, searched for WSReset.exe, right clicked Run as Admin, then restarted system a 2nd time.         Opened Windows store, checked for updates--no list of same apps came up that time thankfully.       Hopefully now fully fixed for good, as I was dealing with that since i don't know when, as normally I don't check it too often, since Auto Updates are on, and i expect it to auto update the apps correctly lol.  Now if it does somehow return, then I'm going to prepare for a full clean Windows 11 24H2 install, once RL annoyances are done within the next week or two. So, one way or the other this issue going to be permanently solved
