Btw. if its just about replying to an SMS manually, tools like kdeconnect [1] can be handy which allow you to write SMS messages on your desktop and send them via your smartphone. [1]: https://albertvaka.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/kde-connect-1-0-...

I worked on adding SMS support through 3g sticks for KDE too, using KDE IM/Telepathy a while ago. Fun times.

For personal usage: if you have an Android phone and are not bothered by web ui, you can use https://messages.android.com/

Side note, is it just me, or is the Android Messages app really laggy? Especially on the phone, there is a significant delay from when I hit send to the message popping up on screen, to the point that I frequently get the "Messages has stopped working, would you like to stop it" dialog. It has been slowly getting better, but it's still surprising in such a high-profile app so I'm wondering if it's something specific…

I have the exact same issue (on a Pixel 2 XL). It started a few months ago, and has been getting progressively worse.
