I think that can be done with skype. It's called SMS messaging. Maybe you can google sms messaging and see if you can find other ways to do it too if you don't want to do it with skype.

I was also wondering if you can send a text message from your computer to a cell phone. My mother's learning to text so just for fun I thought I'd try texting a message to her. I'll have to ask verizon how to go about this. I could ask Mom if her phone has internet access.
