Sharing number on Mac without phone

Does anyone know how I can send and receive messages by number on my mac from my mac? My phones broken so I'm trying to be able to text from my mac, but my number isn't hooked up to send and receive and I was wondering if there's any way to turn that on without my iphone.

You should be able to send iMessages to other Apple devices from your Mac, but in order to send SMS or MMS messages, you will need an iPhone to forward them to the non-Apple device recipients.
