Web texting is two-way text messaging from the Web to a handheld mobile device,
usually a cellular
phone.
Traditionally, SMS (short
message service) messages are sent from one handheld device to another. As mobile providers have
improved their Web sites, it has
become possible for subscribers to log on and send text messages to cell phones from the online
account. Web sites known as SMS gateways allow
computer users to send text messages to handheld
devices.
