Windows 10: Send and receive SMS messages without a mobile phone.

abroxis · Dec 16, 2020

Asked on google how to send and receive SMS without a Cell Phone.

Got a response "I would be glad to help you. What is your Credit card number.

Can I please learn this with out paying a one time fee of $25.00.

Is there a windows 10 program that emulates a mobile phone allowing easy SMS texting?

I have 100 mbts internet but Cellular is banned for security reasons.

Thanks if you can help me out.

:)

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!

Can't send/receive text message.

Hi Josh,

We would suggest performing the following:

Soft resetting the phone by holding the volume down button and power button simultaneously until phone vibrates and shuts off, remove SIM card and insert back before turning it ON.

The date and time may be incorrect after restarting your phone. To set the time correctly, go to Settings >
Time & language > Date & time

Check the signal strength on the phone screen, and move to an area with better reception.

Send a text message to your own mobile phone number. This will test your sending and receiving capabilities in one go.

Check the SMS center number (Messaging > ... > settings >
SMS center number). If the number is missing or you think it is incorrect, confirm the number with your network operator.

If you have Multi-SIM (two SIM cards with the same mobile phone number), note that some text messages can only be received on your assigned primary SIM card.

If the previous steps do not help, insert a different operator SIM card into your phone to verify that the phone is working properly.

Let us know how it works.

Regards.
