Can I send SMS text messages from my laptop?

[Windows Central Question]

Through the Windows 10 Anniversary Update for the Surface Pro 3, can Cortana send SMS text messages from my phone that I send messages on my laptop?

Yes you can send SMS messages from Cortana via your Windows phone.

I hope we also get SMS through Skype via your phone at some time in the future to replace the Messaging + Skype app we lost.

The Messaging app on Windows 10 AU shows all my text messages. I haven't tried sending messages from my laptop, so could someone tell me if that works through this app?

No you can no longer send SMS messages from your PC using the messaging app any more, this function was stopped, you can still send using Cortana.

The idea was supposed to be that Skype will take over this function some time in the future, but when is anybody's guess...........
