mysms – Remote Text Messages

What is mysms?

mysms is a free Android application that lets you keep your text conversations in sync across devices. Once installed on your phone, the app mirrors your SMS and MMS messages to a cloud service, allowing you to read, reply, and start new conversations from a web browser, a Windows desktop, or a tablet.

Main features

• Cross‑device messaging – Write and receive real SMS/MMS from any computer or tablet without needing your phone in hand.
• Call notifications – Get a pop‑up on your computer when an incoming call arrives on your phone.
• Contact sync – Your phone’s address book is synchronized so you can select contacts easily from any device.
• Group messaging – Participate in MMS group chats from the web interface.
• Multimedia support – Send pictures, videos, and other files as part of your messages.

How it works

After installing mysms on your Android phone, you create a free account. The app uploads your messages and contacts to the mysms cloud using encrypted connections. When you open the web portal (or a native desktop app) and log in with the same account, the service pulls the synchronized data, presenting it in a familiar messaging layout. All outgoing messages are routed through your phone’s carrier, so you are billed exactly as you would be when sending from the device itself.

Practical uses

1. Workplace convenience – Keep your phone in your pocket and reply to texts from your workstation.
2. Travel – Use a laptop or tablet abroad without needing to switch SIM cards; only your carrier’s rates apply.
3. Accessibility – Larger screens and keyboards make typing long messages easier.
