@whoisashygirl Helped out my sister who has to replace her mobile phone, she ordered one of very few Nokia 7.2s from a retailer who only sends purchase links via SMS. Because my sister is using a dumb phone she can’t act on such links, so she arranged for me to receive the SMS, which I opened on my MacBook Pro in Messages app.
I hit the pay link while on a VPN & entered her credit card details & all was well. She was quite put out that her dumb phone couldn’t allow her Windows laptop to access text messages.
