[Electronics-Talk] phone link app or others to send texts to Iphones and other IOS devices

[Joseph Hudson]

Hi Ashley, yes, you can do this. Through the phone link app. But you have to have a iPhone in order to link up your iMessages. You talked about only having an iPad. So I'm wondering if you've ever tried using just a wireless keyboard with your iPad. This would also work as well.
