I have a customer who wants to text from her computer.

I see you lot have been at this for a few years and are no closer to a solution.

You can solve your problem Eric by accessing all the iPhones you expect messages from on your network, then turn off imessage in the message settings.

This will prevent those phones using an incompatible protocol on your network.

I will keep searching for a solution to my problem. :-)

Yeah, this is nothing new. Apple has always been a closed ecosystem.

Anybody think Apple will wake up this thread is 4 years old and as far as I can see PC users and text through Iphone.

Apple does not respond in these user to user support forums, they simply host the forums and ensure the users play nicely in the sand box. If there is something specific that you want assistance with, ask a specific question.

When I buy a smart phone, whether its iOS or android, I don't buy wondering if it'll benefit Apple or Google. I buy it to benefit ME and MY needs, I couldn't care less what Apple thinks and neither should I. A smart phone is a tool that i'm paying for so if its not practical and applicable, its useless. The iPhone is a fashion trend at best.


Apple does not allow third party support or integration with SMS and that is the main concern. It limits what apps can be developed. Worse yet, Apple is doing nothing about it, leaving a huge dead spot where there could be an opportunity to make the iPhone a real practical tool. It would be different if Apple said "We have a tool for that, we don't want to open up to third party apps". Sadly, that's not the case. They have no tool and they allow no support. That's draconian and a huge let down.
