It is not even that difficult. Once a person is able to learn how to send SMS from their computer through their Windows phone they may wonder why they waited so long to take advantage of it.

There are plenty of text messaging apps and programs that can be downloaded to the computer.

That requires getting the right app for the computer.

• Start with the computer and phone – It will be necessary to have a computer and phone that are capable of performing this function. A PC with windows 8.1 operating system will be necessary. A windows phone is helpful, but there are apps that work with other phones as well. The phone must be capable of receiving and sending texts.
• Find the app – In the Windows app store find an app that allows texting from the PC. One app to consider is Mysms. This app will automatically sync your phone and computer together to allow the sending and receiving of texts with the computer through the phone. It uses the phone number of the phone that is being utilized.
• Download the app to the computer – This may require a few minutes depending on the speed to he computer and the internet provider.
• Sync the devices – You can make sure that the phone and the computer are synced through the cloud. Once that is done, the computer is ready to receive and send texts.

Some may wonder why this is something that should be considered. When people are working on a computer, the receiving and sending of texts can be very distracting. If you can see the text and respond to them without having to pick up the phone, it can save time and aggravation.

Another advantage of texting with the PC is the use of the keyboard. The QWERTY keyboards of a phone are small and not always easy to use. The larger keyboard of a computer makes it easier to write the texts that are to be sent. It may also be possible to schedule the texts using the app that has been downloaded.

All of these things add up to using the computer to send texts through your Windows phone. It is something that everyone should consider.
