    Texting with Note 10.1

    Hi All, I think I have a basic question that has been eluding me..... Is there a way I can send a text on my Note (wifi only) using my existing phone number ? My goal is to be able to send texts (because of the keyboard) from the Note, but receive them on my phone. Thanks !
