  1. Phone link connection


    I want to use PhoneLink so I can send texts from my PC. My phone, Samsung A23, has TWO sim cards. So I have a personal phone number and a work phone number which go to the same phone handset. When I successfully set up phone link, the texts are going from the wrong SIM card. How do I set it up so they come from the other phone number? At no point in the set up did it ask which SIM card to link to the PC

    :)

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

  3. Can't "Link to Wndows"

    Thanks so much. I will certainly follow your tutorial in the future. I think resetting did the trick, and I was also able to set a pin code.

    Question. I am confused about one ongoing step: "Go to www.aka.ms/addComputer" in your browser." A search for this, and other similar url's suggested in the Phone LInk setup always ends up the same way, with a trip to nowhere.

    Clicking in those types of links end up in a blank tab
