What’s a good way to respond to sms messages on my phone, through my desktop pc? I do not have wifi, just my phone’s usb/tethering connection.

      I’ve had bad experiences with KDE Connect, specifically with group chats. Last time I used it to reply to a group chat, it sent a text to each person individually.

      I’m also on Windows so that might be my fault.

      Are there any guides to get this working on windows, only using a usb tether connection? It seems to want the devices to be connected to the same network to talk to each other. Am I missing something?

        Yes, you do need both devices to be on the same network. USB tethering does just that (your pc connects to your phones internet connection).

            you could try the hamburger menu in the top right to add your pc with an (network) IP. If you’re tethered and that doesn’t work I’m out of ideas.

      • on Plasma 6 it now supports Bluetooth
      • if you use a VPN and use it over wifi you need to exclude the apps
      • you need to open firewall ports to use it

    Is Google voice an option for you? I text from any device via GV flawlessly
