New York, NY | [iPhone] Send/Receive SMS from Computer or Web Hello folks,
Trying to find an app where I can control my iPhone from my macbook and/or send/receive SMS and view them on the macbook or web browser.
Also, I run windows 7 at work at the moment is there something that works on the web that way I can run on any os ?
Thanks |

San Jose, CA | hey,
if you just want to send/recv sms from a web browser, how about getting a google voice account and use that?

I used to send texts from mail programs before iMessage
Every wireless provider has their own address scheme
For verizon recipients, I would address To:
their_10digit_phone#@vtext.com |

If you are on Verizon, you can send and receive texts (to VZW customers) from verizonwireless.com's web site |

this is correct.
with ATT, it's
xxxxxxxxxx@mms.att.net
xxxxxxxxxx@txt.att.net
ignore the subject, as i find it's usually more trouble than it's worth.

True, but the OP also stated "Trying to find an app where I can control my iPhone from my macbook and/or send/receive SMS and view them on the macbook or web browser."
As you can see I based my suggestion on perceived intention not the OP's exact verbiage ... My bad.

There was a program that did this BluePhone(Elite) and I sorely miss it. Sadly, it's no more. |

All these suggestions have big drawbacks. Namely your texts will not show as received from your phone number to the recipient ("who is this? lol").
Which iteration of the phone do you have, and is it jailbroken? If it's jailbroken, simply install Veency on it and VNC in to it. I did this before I got the 5 and it's fantastic being able to text from your desktop (or laptop) using a full keyboard. |

So I found that I can send/receive SMS/MMS from my MBP since I configured it via iChat, but still trying to find something if it exist that I can do this via a web browser so I won't have to be touching my phone while at work 
Looks like Google is the only option ?
I wonder if I can Remote Control my iPhone from my mac or pc? |
