[quote author=973beachbum board=finance thread=3304 post=127275 .[/quote] <snip> We use AIM to text people on their cell phones, from our computer. It is free for us then and their replies come up on my AIM like an IM. <snip> [/quote]
I do something similar with Verizon. I can send an email from my computer to anyone on Verizon by sending it to xxx-xxx-xxxx@vtext.com. It shows up on their cell phone as a text message and when they reply it comes back to my email. Works great from home...

It does cost you to recieve texts even if you delete them without reading them. Not me, for sure. I see right there and then on the screen if any units are deducted, and when I delete a text without reading it, it's free.

GG I love it because I can use actual sentences with words spelled correctly with punctuation. I am crazy like that. ;D I use correct sentence structure, spelling, and punctuation on my phone. ;D Between the two of us, we sent and received almost 900 text messages last month. I am a text message master!
