If you have verizon, you can. Go to the verizon web site. Log in and then click on MY Verizon, and then "send text message". It will let you set it up where you you can send and receive through the browser. Best part, it will show all your messages that you have sent from you iphone. Works great if you are working on computer, and don't want to deal with texts on phone. Since it is browser based, if you close out browser, you don't get the messages.
