Text message ppl from the internet?

[Juice Box]

Is there a way to send text messages to people through the web somehow? Thought i remember hearing about it somewhere

 

[slightlyhuman]

my ex used to go on att.com and send me messages.

don't know about other carriers.

 

[murphy55d]

nextel has a service like this. i dont think it works cross-carriers though.

You can do +1########## as a screen name in AIM and it will send it to the cell phone too.

That's pretty sweet. I just sent myself a text page that way and it worked.

Try using www.sms.ac
It works for US to UK..donno abt Italy but in all probability it does


Yahoo Messenger also allows sending sms to some countries...check out if Italy is included
