Sms over wifi

I live remote with no signal so rely on Wi-fi. How can I receive sms that my phone is unable to pick up (due to no signal) through Wi-fi. Is there some app? . Thanks.

Yes. Thanks. But my wifi calling does not for some reason deliver text. Only calls. So only solution I could think of is some magical app? This must be a big problem for all in signal gaps as it prevents us (the need for sms verification) from basic online functions such as banking etc.

My carrier (Verizon) has an app (Messages+, I think) that lets you get SMS messages in a separate app or on your computer. Ask your carrier if they offer something similar. You should also consult with them about the issue of SMS over WiFi as both SMS and WiFi calling are features they control.

SMS Text messages are sent over your carrier's voice network. If you do not have access to the voice network AND your carrier offers Wi-Fi calling you might be able to get your SMS texts.
