Sending Text From Pc

[annieigma]

Hi,
I have a EE mobile phone account, and would like to send text messages from my pc, rather than from the phone. is it possible? . my internet and phone provider is also EE.
Thank you,
Annie.

EE don't provide their own 'SMS gateway', so you can't send texts directly from your PC through EE.

Businesses which send texts from computers subscribe to SMS gateway services but such subscription services tend be designed for firms who want to send very large numbers of texts every day and therefore would cost too much for private individuals to use.

However there are several web-based services which claim to enable you to send texts for free. e.g. https://www.sendatext.co/
but I've no idea how reliable they are.

Maybe search and see if there is software out there that allows control of the connected mobile from the PC. The mobile would then still be doing the actual sending but the interface would be on the PC monitor. I've not tried it but suspect the Samsung backup/phonebook editing software I have *might* achieve it. Might try when I get up :-)

With a Skype paid account you can send text messages

Just checked and Kies didn't have the option, but worth a web search or two to see if an independent software package can.
