Can I get a Messaging app for my Ubuntu 13.10 Laptop? (I have an iPhone 5s)
I know there are ways to message on Ubuntu if you have an Android, I am wondering if it is possible to message when you have an iPhone. The best would be an iMessage Client for Ubuntu, but I don't think those exist, so I am fine using another program (it could use my email, but preferably my phone number).

There are no completed projects about associating Apple devices to a Linux machine. You'll need complete server solutions, or experimental utilities.

I don't think there is such way to use "iMessage" On Ubuntu.
If you want a simple IM Service, I Think this is what you are looking for: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/pidgin/
I dont think there is such way to Use SMS as a native client on ubuntu.
Enjoy!

You can send and receive text messages using Pinger, either through your phone number or the Pinger service, to and from your own account on the Textfree Web app or to any other online service that sends and receives online texts, of which there are many to be found on Google.
