Text From Computer Using iMessage
If you need to send text messages via iMessage on your Mac, here’s how.
Send Texts From a Computer Using Google Messages
You can send and receive text messages, photos, voice messages, and videos using Google Messages on your smartphone and desktop. To link the mobile app and the web version, follow these instructions:
Sync Text Messages Using Pushbullet (Android and Web Browsers)
Pushbullet syncs your texts between your smartphone, web browser, and desktop PC. It also lets you share websites and images from your smartphone to your computer (or multiple computers) and vice versa. There are Pushbullet apps for Android, Chrome, Firefox, and Windows.
Send Texts Using Google Voice (Cross-Platform)
You can also use Google Voice to send texts from a computer. Here’s how to send texts using Google Voice to U.S. and Canadian numbers for free.
Send Texts With the Samsung Messaging App
If you have a Galaxy Book or Galaxy Tab Pro S, you can send and receive text messages using the Samsung Messaging app. This application comes preinstalled on your device, so all you need to do is link your phone number. Then, launch Samsung Messaging from your home screen (or find it in your folders) to begin the setup process.
Email a Text
Another method, albeit clunkier than the others in this article, is sending a text message via email. Each wireless carrier has an email formula for doing so. For example, to send a text message (SMS) to an AT&T user, email “number@txt.att.net,” but replace “number” with a 10-digit phone number. To send an MMS (multimedia message, such as a photo), email “number@mms.att.net.” Check with the carrier or reference this list of carrier email addresses. The issue here is the email could end up in the recipients’ spam folder or get lost in the shuffle since it looks different from standard email addresses. You must also know which carrier the recipient uses.
Text From Computer Using SMS Websites
Finally, there are SMS websites that let you send text messages anonymously.
