Nov 24, 2015 10:49 PM in response to brvwilgerby sberman,In addition to the responses above, you can also use email to send a text message from a Mac if you know the recipient's cellular carrier.
For example, to send a text message to someone using AT&T with the phone number (987) 654-3210 in the U.S., compose and send an email to 9876543210@txt.att.net
