A computer-implemented method of emulating a mobile device messaging operation may include receiving a request from a web browser that includes a text message; submitting the text message to a text message service provider; receiving from the text message service provider a response text message that is responsive to the text message; and generating a response, formatted for display on a web browser, that includes the response text message. The text message may comply with a short messaging service (SMS) format. The text message may include a request for information. The response may include a graphic of a mobile device around the response text message. In some embodiments, before receiving a request from the web browser, the computer-implemented method includes providing for the web browser a document having the graphic of the mobile device and capable of receiving user requests associated with the graphic.
