In my journey to self hosting and Degoogling, one thing I’ve missed is being able to access my phone on a computer. Is there a self hosted solution that allows syncing between text messaging and a PC/web interface?
I don’t necessarily need a sophisticated Features like customer management or automation. I just want to access my messages from another device, and of course have a server based backup. The ability to reply to messages from the computer is a plus but not necessary. Is there a good option for this?
I’m a bit curious. I don’t get many SMS. Maybe 10 a year. Mostly 2FA from companies who are too dumb to implement TOTP. And got only 1 MMS in my life.
What do you need SMS/MMS for?
It sounds like you are an outlier. Believe it or not, it’s still one of the most popular messaging systems in the world. People send 23 billion text messages every day.
My job in life are public facing, so it is absolutely essential, whether I like it or not.
@gedaliyah @suzune I read your initial question. For access you can have nextcloud + the SMS extension and app on your mobile.
To send and read SMS from anywhere, you can use a Matrix bridge.

I just wanted to know what those SMS are about. This year I got 1 SMS from an actual human being. Obviously he forgot that I read emails 1000x more often than messages.
@gedaliyah @suzune I too a like suzune. I only got 1 MMS in my whole life. SMS usage is dropping more and more. I could say a receive 0 to 2 messages every month and send about the same. Same thing for people I know. Some of my friends don’t ever read SMS and get surprised when I send them something via SMS.
