with a typical iPhone + macOS combo, you can enable SMS via Messages app by enabling a setting in the System Preferences. I use this and frequently receive all SMS messages via this route.
- desertraven 4y agoJust so I'm clear, this isn't just using iMessage, but it will actually bill my provider when messaging in the mac app?
- arthurcolle 4y agoyes indeed, not just iMessage. It works even for when I message for example, my father, who only has a basic SMS plan with an Android phone
- desertraven 4y agoThanks for the info. Does the phone need to be plugged in? Turned on? Or enabling the setting is sufficient?
- arthurcolle 4y agoThe phone does not have to be plugged into the computer if that's what you mean. I haven't tried it with the phone turned off, but I would suspect it could be handing it off to the phone somehow, that might be what is happening. But once I enabled the setting it worked as described.
