Anyone out there figured out how to get calls and texts on iPhone or Android using ethernet tethering? No other text apps.
What do you mean exactly? Get them on your PC instead or..?Anyone out there figured out how to get calls and texts on iPhone or Android using ethernet tethering? No other text apps.
agreed, what is OP trying to achieve?the more i read the question the more confused i get
There is a workaround, at least if you are on Android, but might work on iPhone, too:Okkkkk I’m not as tech savvy or as tech lipped as most people on this site, clearly. My boss has a thing against emf/rf radiation so he insists on using airplane mode and use hard wired internet. However, thus far, I haven’t found anything that allows texts or calling to work properly while connected using a Ethernet dongle to a Verizon carrier iPhone. And not through having to get another phone number and use another texting app. So I’m to see if there are solutions to this? Does that make sense?
exactly, try explaining to him that it's non-ionizing radiation and it ain't gonna kill him off cuz it's not x-raysImagine working for a boss like that![]()
Lucian,There is a workaround, at least if you are on Android, but might work on iPhone, too:
1 - Get a VOIP number and VOIP desktop app ( or phone that can use RJ45 ethernet cable and can also do SMS)
2 - for calls enable Call Forwarding to the VOIP number
3 - find some app that can read and forward your SMS to another number, or can send the messages via email - I used this in the past with some app from f-droid app store.
Good luck!
Man, you guys have been so helpful on this thread. Thank you so much.exactly, try explaining to him that it's non-ionizing radiation and it ain't gonna kill him off cuz it's not x-rays
all I'm saying is the 5G death rays haven't killed me off and I've been surrounded by them for 2 and a bit years nowMan, you guys have been so helpful on this thread. Thank you so much.
Can you answer a call and have a conversation over team viewer?Can you just not leave your phone at home connected to an online pc and remote control it?
I've used team viewer to remote on Android phones
