how do you send texts from your computer?

[bubble2bubble]

is this possible? and for someone like me who is not, for example, Carphone warehouse?

Go to www.o2.co.uk

You will need to register with them, which is free and you don't need to be a customer of theirs.

If you have skype you can also text from there.

OMG just did that with O2 - how exciting!!
