for AT&T,you would do the following:

1.  In your emailer on your PC, go to the TO: field.


2.  In that field, you would type:


1234567...@txt.att.net


where the numbers above you'd replace with the actual phone number to which you want to send a text message. You can skip over the Subject: heading and send up to 250 characters in the text message. Hope this helps.--Matthew Chao

So I was just curious, since I've never heard of this, but say I want to send a 
text from my computer and I use AT&T, what exactly do I do.  Please, please 
walk me through the process.

Verizon uses:
1234567...@vzwpix.com
with the first part being the phone number of course.

Unless you know the carrier of that person's cell number, probably not.
Each carrier has its own way of accepting text messages from a
computer.  For example, AT&T's texting service uses the following:


1234567...@txt.att.net


Other carriers will do something else.  As far as I know, there's no
way to determine by phone number what carrier the person to whom you
want to send a text message has.  Hope this helps.--Matt, N1IBB.

Dear List:

In the past, if I knew the domain of someone's cell phone, I could send a
message to their phone.  However, I usually do not know their domain.
When
anyone else texts from their phone to another phone, all they need is the
ten-digit phone number.  Is there a way for me to text from my computer to
someone's phone with just their phone number?  Thanks.  Regards:  Ted
Larson
