Windows 10: Sending text from pc

Cortana not sending text through PC - 2019 March Topic started

Around last year after the big Windows 10 update – I lost ability to send texts from my windows 10 laptop through to my 950xl.

For example,

• Previously, in win10 (my laptop) if I typed 'text Dave' in the 'search' – before I'd get Ok what do you want to say and I typed it and the sms was sent to my 950xl phone and onto Dave.

• Now if I type "text Dave" on my win10 laptop – I get "I'm sorry, I can't send messages here. Try the Cortana app on your phone.".................??????????????????

Although now, I do receive text on the laptop, but unless I click it as it shows up, I cannot reply.

Help me please..............

No help on the internet suggests a solution.

 

I can receive texts but cannot send any texts.

Does it happen on every text you try to send?

If you are in a different area (so it is a different cell tower) will it work?

What device do you have?

What is the OS?

Have you gone to your cell provider and asked if there is an issue?

Is the number you are trying to send a text to listed as a contact and is the number listed as "mobile" ?

Try this:

Turn off International assist

• Go to Settings > Applications > Phone.
• Turn off International assist.

If that does not work then see if this helps:

Change your mode from LTE & CDMA to CDMA

• Go to Settings.
• Now go to Cellular.
• Find Mode Selection option and change it from LTE & CDMA to CDMA.

After doing this you should be able to send text messages.

The last thing I would suggest is to perform a factory reset

This is the last solution if nothing else works.

 

Can't send group text or SMS..I don't want to send SMS using any 3rd party app or Groupme

Hi Amithsiji,



Thank you for your post.

Please try to send your texts with the Group Text feature off by following those steps:

• 
  Open the Messaging app and tap the (...) three dots at the bottom right of the screen.
  
• 
  Tap Settings.
  
• 
  Slide "Group Text" to off.
  

This doesn't disable the ability to send a text to multiple people, it sends the message as normal SMS instead of MMS.



Hope this helps, let us know how you get on
