Sending / Recieving SMS with internet connection instead of radio?
 

Ok, the title sounds a little confusing, but basically what I would like to do is connect via activesync so the phone has internet access through my computer, then make and recieve sms (and maybe even mms? :D) using that connection even if the phone's radio is off.

The reason is because I have ZERO service at work, but i can hook the phone up and give it access to the internet. When I get off work and finally get service, I get a flood of text messages that I'd like to recieve when they are sent.

Anything like that?

SMS is only possible over the cellular network - it was invented to take advantage of the communication your phone has to make with towers anyway (as a way to get users to pay for something that would happen anyway).

You could easily get email over the internet, but not SMS.

to build on what the previous poster said...i would think that one could find one of the programs that auto-forwards sms msgs to email, and then reply back to the sms address....sorry i dunno the name of any of said programs, bc i dont use them.

The only way I can think of doing something like this is what I'm doing right now with Google Voice. It's not a complete internet solution but I've been using it to send SMS to everyone since I don't have unlimited text messaging.
