Stardard FOSS Way to Send/Recieve SMS from Laptop/Desktop? (infosec.pub)

I am wondering what the standard tool is for sending and receiving SMS and MMS on a device that does not have a SIM card in it.

Is there some tool that can do it natively? Is there a specific carrier that is commonly used for this? Is there some sort of selfhosted service that bridges it to email, and if so do I need to put a SIM card in my server?

Bonus points if I can do it within Emacs.

How would this transfer SMS to desktop?

Well you'd start here

You self host a comms server, i use matrix, and that forwards the message to you.

If you're directly tied to the SMS protocol you can setup a repeater here https://hackaday.com/2022/02/21/an-off-grid-makeshift-cell-network/

Then it's meshtastic -> Matrix -> SMS gateway
