How to send text message from desktop to a phone number?

Can I send a message to a phone number from my desktop?  What would be the format?  I have various email accounts, Yahoo, Gmail, Microsoft 365, to name a few.  Also, is it possible to read my text messages via the T-mobile dashboard or somewhere else?
(I have an android phone if that matters.)

    If you are trying to send e-mail to text.  That service is blocked with the exception of verified companies who are confirmed with T-Mobile to not spam.  

    If you mean text to text, as mentioned above.  Digits is one of the best ways of doing so.  There are also a few Android SMS/MMS apps, like Pulse, that offer that feature through various methods of subscriptions.  You could also try Google Voice as a free alternative.

    If you would like to use your mobile number for your outgoing SMS, you can use Messages by Google. You can send from a browser via the URL https://messages.google.com/web/authentication.

    If you just want to send SMS from your desktop, you can get a Google Voice account and send SMS from your Google Voice account.
