So you need to send a text to a cell phone but you only have a computer.
Method 1: From the wireless carrier's website
Each wireless company has a website from which you can send free Text Messages:
Free text messages to Rogers Wireless cell phones
Free text messages to FIDO cell phones
Free text messages to Telus cell phones
Free text messages to BELL Mobility cell phones
Method 2: By email. Yes email!
you can easily send emails to your friends' cell phones directly from your email. You just need to know the number and the carrier of the recipient to start emailing them to their cell phone. Here is a list of the emails of different carriers. You need to replace the part before the "@" with your friend's number.
Rogers Wireless: [10-digit phone number]@pcs.rogers.com
Fido: [10-digit phone number]@fido.ca
Telus: [10-digit phone number]@msg.telus.com
