Microsoft has confirmed it plans to add SMS Relay features to the Android version of its Skype VoIP client at some point in the future.

A Trend Micro security researcher claims to have discovered a new type of malware infection on the Google Android platform that acts as an SMS (text message) relay.

Phone number masking is the newest Firefox Relay Premium feature, and it works a lot like email aliases. Users who upgrade to this service can generate a phone number alias to share.

Microsoft rolled out a new version of Skype Preview pushing SMS and MMS messages from a Windows 10 phone to a Windows 10 PC. Android support is due later.
