How can I send SMS from my PC using my Android Phone (Galaxy S3)

Question

I've been a long-time Nokia fan, but finally succumbed to the Samsung Galaxy S3's amazing screen, & Android's Open community.

One feature I use a lot (about a hundred times a day...) is Nokia PC Suite's ability to send SMS via the phone. It:

Uses my phone's contact list.
Notifies me when I get an sms.
Allows me to send SMS using my PC's keyboard.
Essentially turning SMS into just another IM medium I use on the PC.

How will I do this with the Samsung Galaxy S3 + Windows 7?

PS Yes this is a blatant copy/paste of a [similar question](http://superuser.com/questions/176818/how-can-i-send-sms-from-my-pc-using-my-iphone) I asked once about the iPhone I have since abandoned — Dean Rather, Jul 16 '12 at 03:22
This is a better question for [android.se]. Fortunately, it's already been asked and answered there: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1784/how-do-i-send-sms-from-pc-through-android-phone-or-to-android-phone — ale, Jul 18 '12 at 13:27

Use Airdroid. It gives SMS and much more. And it is web based so you don't need to install a client on your machine.

Remote Web Desktop can also be used for sending and receiving SMS. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.xdevelop.rm&hl=en – Shivaranjan Jul 16 '12 at 07:14

Airdroid is a killer app. Though it's a privacy killer too... – smonff Jun 03 '13 at 19:15
Agreed, no privacy, but well done – Jonathan Jul 20 '15 at 20:17

you don't need any extra apps or software as Samsung has this already covered. Samsung kies air is capable of doing all this & more using WiFi. It only works for Samsung devices tho. :))

The simplest solution I have found is DeskSMS, by Clockworkmod. I believe it's 4.99$ per year. It allows you to SMS using a Google Chrome extension, or even by email. I haven't tried the Google Chat relay option, I disabled it.

Since it uses the internet, it will work over 3G or any WiFi, not just a home LAN or usb like some other solutions.

Look at my blog given below. I could do it with Samung Galaxy S2, it should work with S3 also.

PiceaHub works fine. Send SMS, drag and drop videos and music to your Android from Youtube etc.
