they can text your email and then you will have the phone email address. email replies sent to that email will be received as a text.

You can also initiate the conversation if you have their number and carrier. Each carrier has a different domain for phone texts.

If this is not a one off thing and you need to do web-text-web with multiple people, there is a website that offers an ad-supported service. http://www.zeepmobile.com/ However, that will require some software development on your part.

I've done this a few times. I just google 'send texts from pc' click on one and go. Be weary I have rcvd a spam text or two. Try to use one that doesn't require your number.

what's their carrier? Usually it's just the 10 digit number (area code) plus the carrier's option.
Like, for verizon, it's @vtext.com, ATT is @txt.att.net, @messaging.sprintpcs.com, there's a couple of others for the main carriers.

You can send it through your email. If their carrier is AT&T send it to number@ATt.com. The same for other carriers. If they reply it will go to your email.

Send an email to 10digitnumber@teleflip.com

Works with all carriers

And has for like 10 years
