Why people do this from a computer
Typing a longer message is easier on a keyboard, and the phone is often out of reach or out of battery.
It also keeps your number out of the recipient contacts, which is the point for feedback, first contact and anything one-way.
Sending from a computer questions
Do I need to connect my phone?+
No. A browser tool does not pair with a device.
Can I send from a work computer?+
Usually yes. No admin rights or install are required.
Does the recipient see my number?+
No, they see a random sender ID.
What if it fails?+
Check the country code first, then try a mobile rather than a landline.
