Is there a way to send text messages to someones phone from a computer?

[UnitZero]

I hate text messaging but for some reason I have friends who practically refuse to communicate any other way. Can I send them text messages from my computer so I can type out the words and use proper English easier?

I know I can video or picture text someone from my account login with verizon I have no idea if it provides in other companies. I really don't think so. I have friends in other countries and all I have to do is enter the companies website and I can text them to there telephone but of course they get charged later thats way I don't do that as much.

Yeah, if you know their cell phone carrier, a lot of them offer a service like that for free on their websites.
