This might be a stupid one but can you send texts from the internet to a mobile?

If so how and does it cost money?

you used to be able to send free sms via internet, but not tried it for a few years.  Let me have a look.

Yes you can and it is free.

Cant remember who I used but as I recall you could send 10 a day free.

I will see if I can find the name of the site.

here's one.  my only concern would be what they might do with the number, but it's probably in the small print somewhere. 

http://www.sms-txt.co.uk/

edit: only free to orange, 02 and t-mobile.  If that's no good, a quick google of 'free sms' or similar should find you something.

I use this site all the time, I am regularly away from home in remote places abroad, so if there is a mobile link (most times there isn't), it costs around 50p a txt and the same again to recieve one. I do pay for the service with CBFSMS as that way there are no restrictions. I get 1000 texts for £40.
A really good way of keeping in touch with all at home.

Orange let you send 30 free texts a month from their website if you register your Orange phone number.

www.orange.co.uk > email & communicate > Send a text message

The recipient can't reply and it has "sent from www.orange.co.uk" appended to the end but it's handy for sending the odd message from a PC.

just a word of warning about these.

Hubby is away at the moment and I've left my phone at home, so I sent him one of these 'free' text messages to let him know.  What he received was not my message, but a message inviting him to access my message for a cost of £2 plus usual message rate!
