Is it possible to receive email notifications of incoming text msgs?

This may sound like a dumb question, but I often leave my phone turned off while I'm at work and don't see that I got a text until I turn it back on (and with a Droid Mini, the time stamp is when you got it, not when it was sent, so I have no idea when it was sent). Since I'm often at a computer with access to email, it would be nice if I could set up my phone to email me whenever someone sends me a text. Obviously this wouldn't be very useful for most people that get many texts throughout the day, but I get very few, if any, so I wouldn't be overloaded with emails.

Try Verizon Messages+, desktop app. You will get a pop up on the desktop when you get a text message (based on your settings to allow this) and you can respond (or not) from the desktop.

If you son't like Messages+ for whatever reason, there may be other apps that will give you the same functionality.

MightyText extension for Chrome and MightyText app from Play Store. Both free.

Mighttext works great but requires the phone be left on, I am not sure about Message+ but it may be the same. Another option if you sign up with a google voice number (for free) you can give out that number to people that you want to receive texts from during the day (yes it is a pain to have another number but depends on how many people you have texting you). You can setup google voice to forward the messages to your phone anyway but they also show up on voice.google.com also. Google voice number gives you lots of other cool features also (forwarding to multiple phone numbers, voicemail to text, listen in while person is leaving message and picking the phone call while leaving the message, can be setup such that caller must identify themselves before fowarding the call, etc. I use my google voice as a home number so I can give it out without worry. You can also selectively forward calls to voicemail directly or just disconnect or eve fake a disconnected number for those really annoying calls.
