Simply, cell networks are hooked up to the world wide web, and each phone has an address on the network linked to its phone number. You can send your text message to the cell network from a computer because of this.
On a slightly related side note, a group of people once got the MAC address of their boss's pager and sent him an unceasing deluge of pages from computers.
Old Japanese proverb:
" Baka ni tsukeru kusuri wa nai"
or, more plainly
"There is no medicine that cures stupidity."
