Couple of years back, before I started using Talks, I used to use a program
which was installed on my computer, the program links to my mobile to send
and receive text messages, sort the entries in my mobile's phonebook and to
control couple of other settings of my mobile. I no longer have the website
address, but, if memory serves, it's called Oxygen. As well, there're a few
websites let you send texts using your internet, an example is
http://www.textmagic.co.uk/magicmessage/
Hope that helps,
There are text messaging programs for the PC, though I don't know what they're like to use, or how they work.
Examples from a Google search are....

Interesting question Jim, re. texting from landlines. I'll bet it can be done
via computer. Let's hope someone pops up and says that you can - and how.

: Hi List,
:
: I've just re-joined the list and I thought I'd start off with a question
: about sending text messages.
:
: Friends and family send text messages to me via my BT land line and
: sometimes I think it would be nice to respond likewise.
:
: I don't possess software which makes mobile phones accessible. So, the
: question is how as a vi person, can I send text messages either to a land
: line or a mobile phone, and will it be costly?
:
: Cheers
