Can I send texts to a mobile via a PC?



Good day.. Can anyone tell me of a website (or other facility) that
enables people to send texts to mobile phones from a PC?

Many thanks,

Thank you for the replies. Having looked at one or two of these
facilities, I'm now concerned that they might be a method for spammers
to obtain the numbers I send to.. Any comments on that?

Cheers,

Adrian C

If you use a "reputable" service who charge you for the priveledge
then they shouldn't be selling the numbers on... I've been using
http://www.textmagic.co.uk/ for over a year now without problems. You
hav to pay per message, (buy credits in advance) but I'm prepared to do
that for a good service.

They have both a PC application (Which I've not used) and an email to
SMS service (which is what I use) They even allow reverse TXTs which
are emailled back to you.

It only works with MS Outlook. From that page:
"Please note that Vodafone Text Centre is not available for Lotus
Notes users or other email systems."

Many thanks, <<

Pay them £15 and you get 300 messages (5p each) I've found it very
reliable. I think you can also send for free but maybe then it's not so
reliable

I've got an Orange phone but I couldn't find anything on that site
mentioning sending texts from a PC keyboard.

Thanks, all, for the other suggestions.
