texting via internet computer
My home is in an area that has no cell service. Is there anyway I can send and receive text messages via internet computer using my mobility number?

WiFi calling would deliver all your voice calls and SMS over your WiFi connection. This would work around the fact that you don't have a cell signal at home.
Enabling RSC on you phone will deliver SMS messages over WiFi if the sender and recipient both have RSC capabilities. If not then you need a cell connection.
Sending and receiving SMS from your computer is a different thing all together. Android phones using Google Messages can do this if you set it up (see link I previously posted). I don't know if other phones have this capability, you will have to do the research.

It would be particularly convenient if I could receive text messages via my computer, that are sent to my phone number. Is there any way?
