Get around blocked texting by using the Internet.

Blocking incoming and outgoing text messages is a feature included in most cellphone plans. This means that parents can disable texting on their child's phone should they decide it's necessary. There is currently no way to disable this feature unless you know a user's account and password. But there are ways to get around blocked texting. By using the Internet, you can send and receive text messages directly to and from your computer, rather than from your blocked phone.
