Can I text on the computer without an internet connection?

[Emma]

So, my mom hates it when i stay up late texting or being on the computer so she turns off the wireless internet connection so i cant use the computer and she limits my texting so i cant text past 10 PM.

Is there a program i can download to my computer that will let me text other cell phones without having to have an internet connection?

No, you need an active internet connection to text through your computer.

No. It's like trying to microwave something while the power is out.
