Hello.
Am I getting it right that you want to send a regular SMS message from your Mac??
First, make sure that your Mac meets the requirements. It has to be updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10 or higher. Your iPhone also should be updated.
Start the Messages on your Mac.
On your iPhone head to Settings > Messages. Tap Text Message Forwarding.
You'll see a list of all your devices linked to your Apple ID. Choose the one you want to send and receive messages and select On. Then you'll see a six-digit code pop up in Messages on your Mac. An alert window will appear marked Text Message Forwarding will show up on the iPhone.
Enter the six digit code displayed in Messages on the Mac into the alert window on the iPhone and tap Allow.
Should be working after that.
