Sending SMS from PC...

...need something that'll send/receive messages on my phone, but via my PC.

That way it doesn't look like I spend all day at work texting

Is there anything out there to do this? Via bluetooth is ideal.

Cheers!
Adam

Re: Sending SMS from PC...

The software for Samsung and Motorola phones do this as standard... can't see why any other manufacturer would be different... so as long as you have a handset from the top 4 (Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola) just get the software for your handset and either a connection cable or bluetooth dongle. Fior Moto's connection is simply via a mini-usb cable

Re: Sending SMS from PC...

I do exactly that at work, with both my Nokia 6021 (Work) and Motorola V3 (personal). Both have standard software to send texts slyly (and more easily with a keyboard!), for the Nokia I use infra red, and the usb cable for the V3.

As above... any of the big names should let you do it - the Nokia and Motorola software both have Bluetooth connection options, but I've not used them so I can't comment on that.

Thanks chaps ... the Samsung software is a bit clunky, but works great!

Hi,

For anybody interested, Vodafone do offer a facility known as Vodafone Text Centre which allows you to manage your SMS services from your PC. There's more information, including a download option, over on www.vodafone.co.uk
