Can you forward a text message you recieve on your cell phone to an e-mail address?

There is a new application available on Feb 27 where one can send and receive texts between computer and cell phone. Will also work with facebook and very soon many other networks such as myspace and bebo. One can use their site or sites such as facebook. One does not need an internet capable cell phone for this service.

Here's the link.

J.F.Kirk suggested this for AT&T cell phones:
AT&T:(cell#)@mobile.att.net.
I tried this, and it fails.
But this DOES work:
(cell#)@TXT.att.net

MSN messenger has a mobile thing, I don't think it costs any extra money but I'm not sure yet, haha.

how can i send sms messages thru yahoo messenger...can it be done

Thanks

how can a computer be tracked down who is sending txts to a cell phone a code to reply to message

The simplest way, well the ONLY way that I know(!) is if your mobile provider gives you free online texts every month. O2 in Ireland give us 250, the facilities on their site are excellent. Phone book, group texts and much more. I think most providers give free texts.

FYI - Found a great link on Google on this for sending txt messages and carriers using email. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/geek-stuff/quickly-send-text-messages-for-free-using-e-mail/

hope that helps a few

I was able to send text using the groovypost.com tip that Kevin posted on March 10th. I copied all the services into note pad and inserted my phone in the front of each one. The I copied all of them into the To: fields and sent out a batch. My cell responded with two messages. I eliminated services until I had identified the two that worked for my cell. Then I tried my wife's cell and the two that worked for mine didn't work on her's so I repeated the process and found one that worked for her's. I suspect that each service is restricted to ranges of cell phones in their domain. In conclusion not all of them will work for all cell numbers.

Is there any software in the net so that i can download and use it for my personal purposes other than the website which is offering it.
