Anyone have recommendations re: how to send text messages... [View all]

FROM a Windows 10 PC to other phones? I have an iPhone but not a Mac, and that seems to be the rub. If I had a Mac, this would be easy. I've been researching this all morning and have only managed to confuse myself further.

It's not so much that I want to save text messages but rather I want to be able to compose and send a text via my Windows 10 PC (and reply to messages I receive).

Any suggestions? Thanks!
