    Send and receive SMS messages without a mobile phone.


    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.

    I can send text messages to my wife or daughter, an example would be their 10-digit number such as 0000000000@txt.att.net.

    Does your ISP provide mobile phone service like Spectrum advertises and do you subscribe to it? Spectrum has packages that include TV, Internet and phone.

    SMS is actually sent via internet Email

    On a phone when you sent a text to [standard 10 digit phone number] it is actually sending via internet email to the proper portal.

    To sent a text from your Email to me it would be [my 10 digit phone number]@sms.myboostmobile.com
    To a T-Mobile phone it would be [10 digit phone number]@tmomail.net

    A bit clumsy but can be done

    Here is a Wikipedia page that gives a good description on how it works and down the page is a list of Phone Carrier SMS portals

    Is this a work environment? or your Home? If a work Environment, there is probably a company policy against texting and phone calls.
