There is no such thing. You could always use Yahoo Messenger or any other number of instant messaging clients available on the iPhone if you are looking for a free messaging alternative to SMS, but being USB-connected is wholly irrelevant. The iPhone will have to be connected to a wi-fi or EDGE/3G network to receive instant messaging of any kind.


Standing request for all troubleshooting: Please provide your Mac model/year and OS version. Also advise us if you have used or installed any antivirus, security, or "cleaning" software on your Mac. If you have installed MacKeeper in particular, you are hereby advised to uninstall it.

If all else fails to fix your problem, read this tip.

Just easier typing on the full keyboard when replying to txt. I used to have an app that did it for an old phone.

Ah... I misunderstood what it was you were trying to accomplish. There's probably nothing available that you can use short of jailbreaking it. For example:
Veency: VNC Server for iPhone
