Reply to eli5 how does the technology work that allows a computer software to send text messages? by WaverlyAddison
- There are two main ways.
- The first is called an email-text gateway.
- Essentially all the major mobile carriers give their customers special email addresses.
- Anything sent to that address gets converted into a text message by the carrier.
- The second way is for the company running the app to also be a carrier.
- For example I have Google Fi.
- I can send text messages via an app on my computer.
- Google takes the messages I type into the app and then they send them out via their carrier network just the same as if I had composed the text on my phone.
