Yes you can if you know their service provider most allow you to text via the web. For example Verizon allows you to text their clients though their web portal....but there might be a program out there that allows you to text any type of cell phone with out needing to go through the providers web site.

Go to the cell phone provider internet websit and you can text message for free if they have text message on their phone. Example go to Cingular.com, send text message. Trust me.

just a few "doors" down, here on yahoo itself, you will find the means to do this with several carriers (you need to know who theirs is) at :
http://mobile.yahoo.com/sms/sendsms
enter their 10 digit cell number, select the carrier from the drop down list, type your message, click "send message"
bear in mind, they cannot text you back that way, so include any pertinant contact info
Also, oftentimes if you log into the website of your own cell phone carrier you will find the means to do so on their websites (tho limitations may vary).

Go to the web site of their carrier. Some of them have a place where you can text message them from your computer.

Yes you can. If they use T-Mobile, you go to tmobile.com and there is a place you can SMS then while at your computer. I'm pretty sure you can do it with most companies but I've only ever used T-mobile. Hope this helps!
