How to send messages using my cellphone?

How can I send SMS messages using my computer?

  • I would like a way to use my iPhone (and possibly other phones in the future) to send SMS messages but using my Macbook or iMac. There is a great took called BluePhoneElite (note sure if its still being developed) that worked with Nokias and other phones but not the iPhone due to BT limitations. Has anyone come up with a way to send messages through the iPhone using their computer? Since I am outside the US, most SMS gateways that allow me to send SMS online cost too much and are definitely not free. It costs me less to send directly from my phone in general.

  • Answer:

    If you have an Android phone you can use MightyText -- lets you send/receive text messages in your browser and keeps all your SMS messages in sync too: http://mightytext.net

Generally, we tend to send message to your friends and family with smartphone but actually, we can use PC to finish this sending. Text messages can be sent from PC to mobile with Android Manager. Just connect phone to PC and you will be asked to set up debugging mode on the Android mobile. Next go to select "SMS" to manage.Then, go to manage them, like import or export SMS, or edit some contents and send to mobile phone. Because this program can scan out the contacts so you can send to your friend with ease.

I split time between Chicago and Sydney, and have had the same problem. The best service I've come across is Bulletin.First 10 messages are free, then you pay a small fee after that - I think it's only a couple bucks a message: http://bit.ly/12pvzEC
