sms Texting from desktop computer

My phone is not connected to the Internet. Is it still possible to text from computer? My phone is an 'old folks' phone, I can receive a text but am unable to reply to it.

My phone is a Jethro flip phone (for Seniors). Not connected to the Internet. I pay for talk and text. I receive texts but am unable to reply to them. I reply, I press send, the circle goes around saying sending, then it comes up 'Send Failed'.
