How do I send text and chat messages?
Send internal chat messages, text messages, and MMS. Texting is only available in the US, Canada, UK and Australia.
To send text messages, a system admin must enable this feature on your phone number.
Note: Not all phone numbers support this capability because of the phone number's carrier. You can email numbers@logmein.com to get help switching your phone number to a different carrier.
