As of December they created a "Pro" subscription to Pushbullet, and by "Pro" I mean they took a bunch of features from the free version and hid them behind a paywall that's almost the cost of a Netflix subscription. This includes limiting SMS from your desktop to 100 texts a month (enough for maybe 1 conversation a month)
Most heavy fans of Pushbullet (including myself) have switched to other alternatives that are popping up now. I'm currently using Join. You can try it out now here but it does pretty much all the same stuff but doesn't require a subscription.
If you want notification mirroring that ties into the action center right now, check out Join for Android. It has a native Win10 app and ties right into the action center and can take actions on the notifications. It also lets you push files and links from one device to the other, integrating directly with the Windows 10 share menu, so it's very easy to use with Edge, for example (it also has a Chrome extension if you use Chrome).
Sounds like a job custom made for the new app - "Join".
Just set up Join on both devices, and you'll be set. Some info about Join here.
And as it's still in beta, but a highly advanced beta - you just need to register/download it through the Join beta page.
Really sorry about that, but do you mean that you can't get notifications or any pushes at all? If it's just notifications, maybe you just didn't set them up like shown here? http://joaoapps.com/join/
> I'm also hoping to have a way to text from my computers
You want Join: http://joaoapps.com/join/ It can do that and much. much more. I can't live without it.
> I'm a big fan of integration
You'll have to use everything Google then (calendar, drive, photos, G+, sheets, docs, slides, keep, fit, now, etc..)
You can use the join on the web (http://joaoapps.com/join/web) so that you can push from iOS to whatever other device. I use an Apple Shortcut to open the thing it generates so that I can copy my iPhone clipboard to my other devices but you can use bookmarks too.
I dont know how to go the other way yet without jailbreak. Maybe you could find an iOS browser that allows the Join extension but idk if theres anything like that
Thank you very much for your feedback :) Really appreciate it!
To answer your questions:
Thanks again!
Actually revised the link, here's the link to the Join page - http://joaoapps.com/join/
The first link lets you sign in for the beta test, after which the Play Store link will become active for you to download/install the app on your devices.
If you want a client for Chrome you'll see the link on that page as well, but it sounds like you just want to go from device to device.
