Questions[sms](ubuntu)

I've just lost my phone. I know it's here in my house cause I used it last night and my bluetooth speakers will connect to it this morning.

How can I text my phone using bash? Then the phone notification will sound and I can find my phone.

Note: I asked for a bash solution because it's simpler than installing and configuring a GUI. Also I am more comfortable working in bash than python, HTML, or java, etc. Finally a bash solution works in Windows 10 when you use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

• I don't have a landline so I can't simply call my smartphone.
• It was 6 am on Sunday morning when I lost my phone. People I could email to call my phone were sleeping. I was unsure of the battery charge level and if it died, I could never text it.
• A few weeks previously I had turned off email sound notifications on my smartphone so I couldn't email myself.
• I don't have skype or any VOIP service providers

After 30 minutes I did find the smartphone by texting it using the answer I posted below. It was hidden underneath 4" high-from-floor furniture shelf in the living-room...

I set up KDE Connect on Kubuntu 18.04. Ping and the File Explorer are working fine from the desktop. I am able to recieve, read and respond to SMS. However, I have no clue how I can send an SMS, when I try to start the process from the desktop:

This is my current verions of kdeconnect listed by dpkg -l

ii  kdeconnect                                      1.3.1-0ubuntu0.1                                  amd64        connect smartphones to your KDE Plasma Workspace

Ideally, I'd like to use my normal cell phone number, but if that doesn't work, I'd like to be able to have some other line for texting and be able to do it from the computer.

I have a lgg4 and I want to be able to text from my laptop instead of having my phone on me while I am programming. Any known SMS desktop clients that work will doing this, compatible with android and ubuntu? I don't mind having to switch sms apps on my phone, just want to be able to do it. Thanks

I've got an iPhone 5S and I send a lots of SMS and my fingers feel like they're about to fall off.

Is it possible to send SMS from my Ubuntu system, and recieving sms on my system?
