Using Verizon? You have desktop SMS

Did not know this even existed. Send SMS messages via you PC keyboard.

I have it installed. Looks like a decent small app. Once I received my security code, it downloaded my message history.

Did you already have the Verizon Messages app installed on your phone? I didn't.

I could SMS from the PC, and I received new SMS messages on both the PC & the phone, but I didn't have my history on the PC, nor did outgoing messages sync between them.

Installing the phone app now, but I'll have to see how I like it. It's a big app, and Verizon's apps are sometimes resource hogs.

Since I use WhatsApp for messaging, I use their web page while I'm at work so that I don't have to pick up my phone.

https://web.whatsapp.com/

Just use your cell phone to scan the bar code that pops up on the screen and you're in. That easy. ;)
