What's the easiest way to send and receive SMS messages with a UK number from my computer?
-
I'm looking for a UK equivalent to Google Voice, where I can have a virtual UK mobile/cellphone number to send and receive SMS/text messages. I don't care so much about calling.

You can try http://mysms, works similar to Google Voice, but uses your Android phone number instead of a virtual number. Has the advantage that you don't need to buy credit and can use your operator plan as texts are sent via your Android phone.

You can build such service with the wholesale SMS API that lets you to buy a virtual number in the UK, and other markets, to send and receive SMS. Receiving is free. We currently have partial coverage in the UK, but soon we will be having the full carrier support.

You should try out mysms (http://www.mysms.com). It allows you to sync all your messages from your android phone into the cloud and then send & receive texts using your own number from a Mac App (available in Mac App Store). They also have a Windows app and a HTML5 version for tablets. However, it does not provide you with the opportunity to pick your own virtual number.
