Smartphones can do a lot, but when it comes to using the keyboard, there’s always a bit of a struggle. Users mostly accustomed to the standard desktop keyboard have a hard time transitioning to the smartphone keyboard. Luckily, the free Android App BrowserTexting lets you text remotely from your PC browser.
Although not possible in every situation, it’s great for users like me, who spend 90% of the day at the desk, surrounded by gadgets.

Just select a contact or contacts, (hold down the Ctrl or Alt buttons to select multiple contacts) and type out your message. You can also send a text message to a number that isn’t saved in your contact list, by entering the number directly in the browser.

BrowserTexting is a simple application that accomplishes its task of enabling you to send and receive messages directly from your browser window.
