Can I Send A Text From My Laptop
7 Answers
My old mate's laptop has broken and he won't have one for a few weeks. I want to send him a "lockdown newsletter", far too long to type on a screen not much bigger than a postage stamp. He has a "dumb" (i.e. non-Smart) mobile on the O2 network. Can I send him a text from my laptop? I've read a bit about SMS Gateways but it seems to refer to arrangements in the US.

I would do it a simple way. Compose text on laptop, mail it to myself, open email on my phone and copy and paste in to SMS

That sounds an excellent idea, TC. Many thanks.
I've found the "Your Phone" app on my laptop. I now need a "Phone Companion" App on my phone. I'll have to look for that. I'll let you know how I get on.
