The solution works primarily through Android, which, when installed on the phone, acts as a central hub. It replaces your default messaging app, intercepts incoming messages to sync them with SMS servers , and relays them to another device. In practical terms, when you receive a text, it can be viewed from your Android smartphone, iPhone,or from a web browser on your computer or Mac. You can reply from any device. Mysms offers two options: 1. use their service to send messages at a rate of €0.08 for domestic SMS and €0.10 for international SMS, or 2. use your default SMS settings to send texts via your carrier. To use it on your PC, download the app on your smartphone and create a mysms account to send and receive texts on your PC at app.mysms.com.
