Here is something I use quite often, texting from your computer. the only thing you have to know is who their mobile carrier is. once you know that you simply send them a email from your computer and they get it as a text. if they reply it goes back to your email address that you first sent it to.
find their carrier below and simply add thier phone number to the email address:

Very good, this will definitely come in handy for me, espeically for international texting....thanks!
Even easier is txtdrop.com you don't even need to know their carrier and you can have the replies come right to your email.
Though we already mentioned it here a while back, but it has since been lost in the sauce.
