Here is something I use quite often, texting from your computer. the only thing you have to know is who their mobile carrier is. once you know that you simply send them a email from your computer and they get it as a text. if they reply it goes back to your email address that you first sent it to.

find their carrier below and simply add thier phone number to the email address:
