Is there any way to anonymously text message a cell phone from a computer?

I would very... very much like to know.

Google "free sms" - there's loads of places.

FYI, they all keep logs so it's never COMPLETELY anonymous.

Anonymous enough for practical jokes, not anonymous enough for stalking....

It's a Verizon phone that I would like to txt to.

Let's go ahead and say it's a, "practical joke". Now, if I got my laptop and hopped in my car and went driving around the neighborhood for a wireless signal (which I've done a few times ) and I used someone ELSES connection, would it still be linked back to my computer even though it's a different IP and such?

for text messages, unless its a threat or the cops get involved, there really is no accessible record of your text.

Most carriers have text message send capabilities from their webpage.

Haha I just tried this with my phone. It works. I have a Motorolla Razr with T-Mobile FWIW.

 Who is the carrier?   You can find plenty of places on the net
to send SMS< but sometimes they'll spam the SMS recipient.
I have used this during emergencies for parties that didnt
have WPS enabled phones:

At least some providers have an email-to-SMS gateway.  Cingular, for example, uses [email protected]

It may help... make sure to change your machine name, domain/workgroup, MAC address, clear all cookies that may have personal data in them before you connect, go through an annonymizer... etc etc.  you leave a lot of shit behind.  I'd just go to the library or borrow someon's machine at starbucks.
