Windows 10: Cortana not sending SMS from my PC

SCMBarnett · Oct 30, 2018

When I initiate a text from Cortana on my PC (Surface Pro 4), I get the normal message that says, "I'll send that text using your phone. It may take a minute depending on connectivity." However, it stays on that screen and never sends the text. It was working fine a few days ago and I don't believe I changed any settings. I know my phone and PC are communicating because if I share a web page from my phone using "Continue on PC," it works. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Cortana on my PC, have rebooted both my PC and my Pixel 2 Android phone. I have read several items in the support community but nothing has helped. Any suggestions?

Cortana start menu pushing send SMS

I just received an Action Center notification for SMS with Cortana. Seems they're pushing a lot of their stuff lately. Just a couple days ago I had a Skype message too. I don't use either one, so I guess that's why the push. Got me. You can turn app suggestions off in settings, but they don't really bother me. Yet....

To Windows Mobile Insiders: Send SMS with Skype Preview

Yesterday, we rolled out an updated Skype Preview for Windows 10 PC and Mobile to members of the Windows Insider Program. The SMS relay feature is part of this update, and allows users to send and receive SMS and MMS messages directly from a Windows 10 PC when Skype on your Windows 10 Mobile is set as the default messaging app. No need to reach for your phone, you can view new messages as they arrive and respond to messages from your computer. Send and receive texts, group messages, and photos all in one app with a single view of your SMS and Skype conversations.

To get started, you will need Skype Preview on both your Windows phone and PC. To set Skype as your default SMS app:

On your Windows phone, launch Skype Preview, go to settings and select “Make Skype your default messaging app”; and

On your Windows PC, launch Skype Preview, go to settings and select “Enable Skype on this device to sync my SMS messages.”

Over the next couple of months, we’ll bring the SMS relay feature to Skype Preview for consumers in addition to new features and general improvements. Some of the features are already in this latest Skype Preview Windows Insider build; such as the ability to hide conversations, add contact button, and support for Skype URIs (start Skype calls and chats directly from websites, desktop and mobile apps). We’re also working on:

Improved messaging – message sent status, copy and paste quoted messages, read/unread line indicator, preview a URL in chat, keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop of files and photos, drag and drop of URLs from browsers, and video messaging.

Easier calling – start call or conversation from profile page, group calls continue even when the initiator leaves, audio/video device settings, loudspeaker improvements.

Additional Windows Mobile updates – transparent tile, video calls will default to loud speaker for video calls, and improved back button navigation.

We would love to hear what you think. Take a moment to visit the Windows Feedback app, search for Skype and upvote a trending topic or create a new entry. To get the latest news and tips, find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and join us on the Skype Community.

Thanks for continuing to take this journey with us, we can’t wait to bring you even more!
