Windows 10: Phone Link doesn't receive text messages but will send text messages.

On my Windows 11 computer, my Phone Link was sending and receiving text messages without issue, then it just stopped receiving texts. It still sends text messages, but it no longer receives text. It shows all the text msgs received to the point it stopped working. I have clicked the refresh button to no avail. I have also checked for updates and it indicates "All up to date". I can't find Phone Link in my computer settings' apps to try to re-install it. Notifications are set to On.

How to send an email that a phone receives as a text?

At my office, we want to have the ability to communicate with our electricians who are fairly low tech people. They don't check emails often, but text messaging would work fine for our need. I know with Verizon and Sprint you can using the text messaging app on the phone to text an email, and then if you reply to say L: 9995724770@VTEXT.COM that email will go to the phone as a text message.

Short of having all the electricians text an email to get these addresses, is there an easier way to go about this? I've never really dealt with mass texting before. Is say a Droid phone capable of sending a text to 40 people?

 

Phone Link won't send/receive MMS texts (iPhone)

I'm using Windows 11 Pro (version 21H2) with Phone Link installed (version 1.23102.126.0).
I've synced Phone Link to my iPhone 12 Pro Max (iOS 17.2.1).

I can send and receive SMS text Messages, but not MMS texts (including group messaging and images).

How can I send/receive MMS messages with Phone Link?

Steps taken:

• Update both devices' OS and relevant apps to their latest versions.
  
• Pair and sync iPhone to Phone Link and successfully send calls and SMS messages.
  
• Reset Phone Link app (delete and reinstall, not allowed)
  
• Trouble shoot the steps on the relevant Microsoft Support page (Troubleshooting for messages in the Phone Link - Microsoft Support). (I'm not using third party messaging apps on my phone because Apple won't allow them. And I've made sure I'm running the latest versions.)
  

Still, Phone Link says "Content type not supported" when I copy and paste an image (.PNG, .JPG) in the "Send a message" field.
