Send A Text/E-Mail *FROM* Verizon Cell/Phone Smartphone *TO* PC?

[montecarlo1987]

Hello. I have a question.

 

How does one send a text message or e-mail *FROM* a Verizon cell phone or smartphone *TO* a PC's e-mail server (such as G-Mail or Hotmail)? I have seen many online articles and forums indicate the reverse; that is, FROM a PC e-mail client or online webmail TO a Verizon cell phone. (...and the Verizon cell phone or smartphone user *REPLIES BACK* TO the PC user; but the Verizon cell phone or smartphone can NOT initiate a text message or e-mail ON THEIR OWN TO the PC.)

 

Please reply with solutions or even if possible a stepped answer (1., 2., 3., etc.). A weblink that demonstrates the steps is okay too, but please be careful not to include the inverse or reverse I just mentioned -- that is all I could find.

 

Also in your response please let me know if some sort of cell phone or smartphone Internet service is required for text messages or e-mails to send and receive too beyond the normal voice service cell phones or smartphones provide.

 

Thank you!

I'm not sure but there are several options to push SMS to Google Talk and other places, which would allow you to access them and respond via email or google talk on the computer.

 

I'm able to do this with DeskSMS (paid android application) but I believe there are some free alternatives.
