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.

You could use a matrix bridge (matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges) or use KDE connect

Note: these solutions assume you have a phone

You can also use a VoIP service to send and receive SMS.
