How To Send Text Messages From Your PC With Your Android Phone

                                                             
 
You're sitting at your PC and you receive a text message, so you pick  up your phone, unlock it, read the message on the small screen, and  type one back using the touchscreen keyboard. Why not use your PC  instead?

 If you're already sitting at your computer, you can take advantage of  your computer's keyboard to send and receive text messages. The  utilities here are primarily for Android phones — Apple doesn't allow  developers to do this with iPhones.

 If you're in the US, you can also do this with Google Voice using any type of phone — see below for more information.

 MightyText

 MightyText offers an Android app that you can install on your phone.  After linking the app with your phone's Google account, you can log into  MightyText from any browser using the same Google account. There's also  a Chrome extension that alerts you to new text messages as they come  in.

 The MightyText website allows you to send and receive text messages  via your browser. Text messages will be sent via MightyText to the  MightyText app on your phone, where they're sent out of the network as  standard text messages. MightyText will also capture incoming text  messages, forwarding them to the MightyText web app.

 This means you can install an app on your phone and then use your  browser to send and receive text messages. It's a slick, polished  solution for texting from Android phones via your browser.

 
 
AirDroid

 Install the AirDroid app on your Android device and it will function  as a local web server. You can then access AirDroid in a browser if  you're on the same local network as your phone. AirDroid provides a  variety of ways to interact with your device — downloading and uploading  files from your browser, managing your installed apps, and even sending  and receiving text messages.

 Just install the app on your phone, launch it, type your phone's  address in your browser, accept the connection, and click the Messages  icon on the AirDroid page. You'll be able to view and send text messages  via your browser from the comfort of your keyboard.

 AirDroid doesn't require any accounts or other setup — it's capable  of functioning entirely locally without any third-party servers  involved. As a result of this, you will need to re-establish the  connection in your browser when you take your phone and laptop onto a  different Wi-Fi network. AirDroid does a lot of things — it can do more than MightyText, but MightyText feels much more optimized for sending and receiving text messages.

 
 
Google Voice (US Only)

 Google Voice isn't an Android-only solution. If you're in the united snakes,  you can get a free Google Voice number and use Google Voice with any  phone — even landline ones. Google Voice can function a your main phone  number, allowing you to forward incoming calls and texts to other  numbers.

 Google Voice also allows you to send and receive text messages via  your browser from the Google Voice website. You can also install the Google Voice Chrome extension to send and receive text messages from your browser's toolbar.

 Best of all, Google Voice is entirely free to sign up for. Sending  text messages with Google Voice is also completely free, while you may  be charged by your carrier to send text messages if you use the above  services — this depends on what your carrier charges you for text  messages.

 If you live in the united snakes and are willing to sign up for Google Voice,  it's a great option. Best of all, it can be used by anyone, even people  who don't even own a cellphone. Everyone can use the Google Voice  website. Apple's iPhone has an official Google Voice app you can use,  while Windows Phone users will have to look for third-party Google Voice  apps.

 
 
You could also try using a messaging service that replaces text messages, allowing you to send messages for free — some such services offer desktop apps, too.
