How can I send iMessages to an iPhone from my Windows PC?

[alexmvp 369]

At home I have a MAC where I send iMessages to my wife on her iPhone and iPad. When I'm at work I'm on a Windows 7 and Windows 8 PC. Is there anyway for me to send imessages to Apple devices? is it possible or am I outta luck?

Thanks

At this point in time, it's not possible from a Windows box. I don't think Apple cares much to enable it either.

One thought is perhaps they will add it to icloud.com but will see...

Have you looked into running a Mac Virtual Machine on your PC? I've never done that, but I'm wondering if this would be a solution..

Yeah I bet it probably would... but kinda a huge work-around

Yeah, but if you don't find any other solution, that's an option

For the Windows PC use Skype. It has a chat section. Free too. We use that from my daughter in Ireland (W PC) to us on Macs

You must also have a mobile phone so use Whatsapp.
