Can PC send/receive texts/calls via iPhone 5?

My iPhone 5 has poor reception where my computer is located. Can I leave the iPhone elsewhere in the house where there is better reception and send/receive texts and calls remotely via my (Win 7) PC? If so, how?
Thanks,
Ron

Contact your carrier and see if they have a microcell (femtocell) available. It's basically a small cell antenna that connects to your broadband Internet service and provides cellular service in areas where the coverage is otherwise poor or non-existant.
AT&T sells one for around $150. I've got a similar problem in my home. Coverage is fine upstairs, but downstairs, it's almost non-existant. The Microcell solves the problem quite nicely.

Iphone 5 won't send/receive texts/calls from other iphone users

So I recently upgraded my android phone to an iphone 5 on saturday and when I got it, I was able to make calls and receive texts from other iphone users. And now my texts aren't sending to other iphone users/calls and I won't receive them. My friends with iphones called my phone and my phone didn't receive their call. Also when i send texts it says "not delivered". I know it's just iphone users since my family members have androids.
I've tried resetting my phone and taking out the sim.

Try totally shutting all of your apps, double click the home button then hold your finger on an app until you see the red minus sign then tap that on all your app, then restart your iPhone, then give it a try. If you are still having problems you will need to check with your service provider to make sure your account is provisioned correctly.

How can I send/receive iMessages from my iPhone 5 on my MacBook Air?

When I first got my MacBook Air (January 2015), iMessages updated automatically upon sign in to display all of my text conversations from my iPhone 5. I also used to see incoming and missed phone calls by default. As of the beginning of March 2015 when I sign in, my MacBook Air does not sync messages from my iPhone at all and I have stopped receiving phone related notifications. Also my MacBook Air is sending all messages from my email address as opposed to my phone number.
I've looked at the Messages help guides for send and receive SMS and activated text forwarding for my MacBook using my iPhone but this still hasn't helped with me being able to see my phone call/text activity on my MacBook as I was able to prior to early March. The iOS is up to date on my MacBook and my iPhone. I've also checked my iCloud and Apple ID and both display my phone number as an eligible send/receive address.
Was there an update that changed a setting? I didn't have this trouble syncing messaging and phone when I set up my MacBook Air for the first time so I'm not sure what else to try. Someone help!

I understand that you would like to use the Apple Continuity features such as phone calls and text messages on your Mac. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article for more information on these features and to ensure that they are set up correctly.

LG Cosmos phone can not send/receive texts that are typed

Hi,
My family has 3 of the LG Cosmos phones and we cannot word text either the phones do not receive them even though our phones says we sent them. They even sometimes do not go through to our other phone which is an iphone.
We have reset, we have cleared memory, we have tried everything.
Funny thing is we can send picture texts without a problem and we can send the voice text messages and they all go through. They don't miss one. However, if we type the text message (as in normal text) only maybe 1 in every 8 goes through. This has been happening for 2 days now. Any suggestions? It does not matter if we are out or at home.

Hi mewith3,
I know how important it is for your text messages to be received. We want to get to the bottom of this situation to get your messages to be delivered. Other than the messages being typed out, have you noticed any other similarities? Do you have any message signatures set? When the messages aren't delivered, are they going to other Verizon users or all providers? To those Verizon users, are the messages on your phone showing delivered? Please provide us a few more details so we can check what may causing the trouble.
Thank you,

Reached text limit, but can still send/receive texts?

My little brother is on my plan, which I pay for. Of course he's texting fiend, so I had to shell out for the parental controls so that I could restrict his texts to the 500 he is allotted each month.
I started this about a year ago, and I thought it was working, but last month, he was able to go over his text limit and my bill ended up being much more than it should have been. I looked at the line items, and yes, there was a significant additional charge for his extra texts.
I double checked the parental control settings, and it is indeed set to restrict his text to a total of 500. Then WHY is he able to send and recieve additional texts? If I am paying for the privilege of being able to make he doesn't go over his limit, WHY is this happening?
I need a resolution on this, I've already paid hundreds of additional dollars due to this ridiculous problem, I will not do it again. Also, my contract was up with Verizon in 2010 and I've not yet renewed it - if this continues happening, Verizon, we're going to have to break up!

Hello ceruleanred,
I definitely understand. If the controls are set correctly then the text limit stop should respond accordingly. Since you have already doubled checked the settings on My Verizon please PM me with your name and mobile number so I may further assist. Thank you.

Unable to send text. However, can respond to received text.

Any problem with a text not being successfully sent you need to take up with the carrier being used at the time.

IPhone 4 will send/receive texts only from other iPhones

Yes, our plan has unlimited texting...and I was able to text with a friend who also has an iPhone, but not with anyone who has a different type of phone.

My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

I have a brand new iphone 5. I can imessage and receive texts but can't send a text or reply to one. Any ideas?

I have a brand new iphone 5.. I can imessage and receive texts but can't reply or send new ones. Any ideas?

You can check this support document regarding troubleshooting Messages http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
However, SMS is a carrier function. You say that iMessage is working, so I would contact the carrier since it is SMS is not working.

IPhone 5 will not send/receive texts in Europe

I have an international plan activated via AT&T. On the last two trips I've made to Europe, I cannot receive/send texts to individuals using an iPhone who are located in the US. If I am on Wi-Fi the texts come through. Also, I can send/receive text to persons not using an iPhone who are located in the US. This has not been a problem an previous trips to Europe. Just started in Fall 2013.

You would need to find out from AT&T if your international usage included a data plan. If you did not, then data roaming would need to be turned on for data to work. Double-check with AT&T on that part. But if data roaming being off, then you would not be getting data, therefore iMessage would not work unless you are on wi-fi.

Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!
