can I text someone anonymously?

not through my phone but another medium that would keep me anonymous while the message to the recipient gets sent. Sort of like a note but I'd prefer to be anonymous sending it.
If one can make anonymous calls, I'd assume one can make anonymous text messages.

encryption has nothing to do with anonymity
it's still going to route the data the same way

Yes. The type of encryption app you use does matter why I won't go into detail or else I would have to type up a buncha shit, but just know that signal is the best app.
Look at my thread in safety and security for reasons why.

I looked up the app you are referring to.
That's not sending texts.
It is sending messages from itself to another person with that client.
I don't want to look into it further because it's not what he was asking.
He was asking about sending actual text (SMS) messages.
For this, there is a company called Twilio that has an API that sends SMS messages.
Theoretically if you routed it through something like Tor it could reach the end user anonymously.
That involves encryption too. My point was just that a phone app can't send anonymous texts.
Well, you could make an application that does that via HTTP but it would be pretty useless if the other user doesn't have it.
They would text you back and it wouldn't be anonymous anymore.
I don't see the point of this as well as texting.
Then again, I've seen the OP ask a lot of "why is the sky blue?" questions (please don't answer that, yes I know why)

The point is to send anonymous text that the average Joe won't even know where or who it's coming from encrypted or not. As long as my phone number isn't directly showing as the sender. Twilio? Julio?
The point is to send a note anonymously.

There are plenty of free apps for smartphones that you can send text messages from a different number with. Just look up texting apps

Not necessarily someone I know. But anyone with a number if I'd like to send an anonymous text to I hope it's possible.

1. Download Tor Browser Bundle(http://torproject.org) 2. Goto a online text messaging site like (sendatext.co or something) via the Tor Browser
Anyway I don't recommend making death threats... or anything like that.

You can send email to text from an anonymous email account. You need to know their provider's SMS gateway address.
