Step 2: Link your phone to your PC

Step 3: Send and receive messages

Once your phone is linked to your PC, you can send and receive text messages directly from your computer. Open the Messaging app and click on the conversation you want to reply to. Type your message in the text box and hit “Enter” to send it.
