If you find communicating via text messages convenient and you need to send a quick message while sitting at your computer, the ‘hassle’ of opening your phone and thumbing the message (and the cost associated) may be unnecessary. Instead, take a look at the web site Txt2Day.com.
Now you can send free text messages to almost any major cell phone provider in the world. If we are missing your favourite, let us know. It’s 100% free, with no gimmicks!
As the description indicates, you don’t have to pay any fees associated with sending the message since it wasn’t sent from your phone. Additionally, the services claims to not store any numbers so your recipients should not be added to any type of spam list.
The only downside I see to this is your number will not be the reply to number, so you will have to make sure you identify yourself in the message. Other than that, I see this has a great alternative to sending messages through your phone.

Another easy way to do this is to simply email the correct 10digitnumber@’insert carrier here’. Upside is that they know who it’s coming from if they know your email address. Downside is that you have to know which carrier your friend is using.
This link has a list of many known carriers.

Thanks Adam. I was going to say the very same thing.
You can always text your friend and have them text to your e-mail address first. Then you can add them to your contacts and have it display their name rather than their 10digitnumber@’insert carrier here’ address.
