How to Message a Cell Number From the Internet
The most common way to send a text is from cell phone to cell phone. However, there is another option. You can send a text message to a cell number from the Internet, and the person you sent it to will receive the text on his phone as if it were a regular text message. The receiver also has the ability to reply to the text, and the sender can receive replies to her text.
