    Hi,

    does anyone know if its possible to send and receive text messages from my pc to mobile phones. I don't have a mobile phone.

    I bought a gadget in the cheap box in B&Q which I've connected to the phone line and it allows me to send and receive text messages. However its not very user friendly. Surely with todays technology, I can use my pc for sending and receiving texts (down the phone line)!

    You can send texts via your PC/Internet but only if you have a mobile phone (free) or Skype/Voip account (small charge). There is no way to receive texts without having a phone AFAIK. Some landline phones have texting capabilities but I have one and never found it very user friendly. Maybe you should consider Twitter?
