Is there an app that makes it possible to write and send a text via the iPhone, from a computer? Have seen a few that seems to have the option to write it and send it to the iPhone, but then you have to send it on the phone anyway... Oh, and I'm using Windows 7 (64).
Thanks for any help =)
iPhone 4, Windows 7
If you have Verizon, you can do it with Message+, which you can download from your Verizon web page.
I just sent a text message from my Windows 10 PC to my iPhone. This may be what you are talking around.
I used my email client to send the message to ##########@vtext.com where the ### part is my iphone phone number starting with area code. This procedure (vtext) works with verizon. Each carrier has its own special name. I believe this is so old that the new MMS format may not work. I do not know for sure.
I hope this helps!

Not exactly direct, but still pretty quick. It's useful if you have one or more long SMSs to write.
1. Send your desired text (or multiple ones) in an email from your PC that you open on your iPhone.
2. Copy the desired text from the email and paste into your outgoing SMS.

The closest thing I've seen so far is MyPhone Desktop which I believe can only do outgoing SMS.
And yes, a more full-featured resource that does what we are looking for is available on Android platform such as Pushbullet(which is also available on iOS in the App Store but with the SMS feature removed for some reason).
AirDroid is another Android platform product that does it and a bit more.
you could not be more narrow minded.
i use my windows PC computer to send txt msgs via my celphone.
i download an app via the play store and then i download an extension on chrome or any other browser.
then new txt msgs get displayed on my PC..
when i want to send a txt msg from my computer i can easily do this
i can copy and paste content from email or the web directly to my phone and send to any one very easily.
this makes life so mush easier, i can send business txt msgs to employees FROM MY PHONE without ever pulling out my phone.
actually for android there is. i am using it as we speak. its called mighty text. you download it on your phone. then you open it, go to your pc. and go to mightytext.com/app. all your messages will appear on the pc, you can text anyone from there and if they reply it goes to your pc. all without touching your phone.
Yes, it's called using iMessages. It's been an option for about four years.
Apparently Apple is withholding texting via an iPhone on a Windows based PC so they can sell more laptops and tablets. I'm sure they don't care about the fools (like me) that are beholden to Windows but use an iPhone because the iPhone is more stable than an android or windows phone.

And I can text from my Mac using Messages via my iPhone. It's great. However, neither of these facts answers the original question.
Since posting this I've bought a Macbook Pro and love the thoughtful integration between all the devices and accounts. So far the Macbook Pro is still speedy, reliable and predictable. Windows is now in the back seat.
Yes, it's called Mighty Text, I had it until I was gifted with an Iphone this Christmas. I am frantically looking for it's Iphone counterpart!
I am a typist and over 30 so small keyboards irritate me to death and no one wants to talk anymore, they insist on conversing thru text.....since the iphone, i don't converse! LOL, if they want to talk to me, they have to call or answer their blooming phone when I call them! HA!

I find the iPhone's speech-to-text functions work quite well. Very little typing required.
I -LOVED- the HappyFingers app. However, since I used Applecare to get my iPhone 6 replaced, now the app can't restore OR install again because its not in the Store anymore. I paid for this app to use for my work PC and sending out group text and email messages. I am TORKED_OFF that I can't still use it. If you have the happy_fingers.ipa file in your backup would you consider emailing it to me? Do you still have the app or were you forced to find another. I have had no luck locating a similar app; I've been looking since last summer (2017).
Send text messages directly via PC?
