Afternoon everybody.
I am looking for a solution to Send and Receive text messages from a computer as a small business user.
We will be sending approx. 50 SMS a month just confirming order's are ready to be collected., I have noticed their is a 1p SMS Simcard we can use but I don't have any idea's how to connect this to a computer and what application I would use?
I would appreciate it, if somebody could shine some information on this and hopefully get me heading in the right direction.
Thank you .
Craig
As far as I know, there is an IM application which was developed and distributed by the carrier of my mobile phone. I can run it on my Windows PC to send SMS. But it's based on my mobile phone number. I am not sure whether we can send SMS aboard with this application. I have not this application installed on my PC now.
So I think you should contact your carrier to check whether there is any application some like this. Or your carrier may supply some API for you to develop some application by yourself. If then, perhaps you will have to pay for your application to send SMS.

There were no real solutions for sending or receiving faxes with windows mobile 5 on the Wizard. I was wondering if anyone has a solution now for WM6?
I am looking for a (preferably free) fax program that will allow me to receive faxes sent directly to my mobile phone number.
Please don't recommend eFax or services like that. I want software that will answer my mobile phone, and receive a fax.

It's good to want things...it build character. Unfortunatly character is not going to get around the fact your phone does not have the necessary hardware to answer a fax call and receive the information. I don't understand the big deal with services like k7.net that are free and give you a separate # you give out for faxes..the faxes go to email and you use push email to send them to your phone realtime. If you want to use your own mobile # as the fax # several services provide both voicemail and fax reception via 3rd parties and all you would have to do is enable conditional call forwarding to send calls to them when busy or not answered...their end would handle the fax/voicemail portion.
heck...Tmobile offers free receiving of fax's into their voicemail for that matter...all you have to do is call them to enable the feature.
anyway know if there is a way to hook up the fuze to a fax machine? im moving soon and dont want to get a landline just for faxes...but it would be so cool if the fuze could dial out and stuff...

Haven't found a way yet. But if you come across something please post it, I would be just as happy to be able to hook up to my laptop and send a fax.
if you guys absolutely need this, there is a "digital" solution where you subscribe to an internet service that will send and receive faxes for you and sends you recieved faxes via email for a small monthly fee, like 10 to 20 bucks. this not exactly what you are asking for, but thought you might not know about this.
Maybe you're looking for something like TrueFax? With this software you can send fax messages directly from your TP. I do not have the web site at hand, so just use a search engine to look it up.

I use myfax.com for $10/month. You get an 800 fax number and all your inbound faxes come as email attachments or can be accessed via the Web. Outbound faxes are sent as email attachments to [email protected] or via the Web. Best part is that faxes do not diminish in quality or size on re-sends as they are converted to PDFs
Receive faxes and voice mail and its free
They will hook u up with a number and everything, only catch is if you don't receive a fax or VM in a 30 day period it will cancel so make sure u use it

I have not tried Faxing with my Touch pro, but if it can't do it, it's only because MS have not bothered putting in the correct drivers, Nokia phones have been able to fax for years, you just plug them in via USB, the drivers are loaded and then you can use them as a fax line as well as a dial up modem !

What's the catch, as nothing is free? Can you SEND faxes with this service?
i was more looking for something that will make the phone do the dial tone and stuff when i hook it up to a real fax machine, that way i wouldnt have to manually scan a bunch of pages...
cortado is something that can be v. usefull:

Hi all:
I am a developer for an app that forwards SMS (and other things) to an email address. Obviously it would be elegant to be able to reply to your SMS right from your email account, while the other side still sees your SMS in the normal way, and the app does exactly this.
But to get the reply back to the phone via email, we need the user to enter the email-to-SMS address as part of setup. You know, like [email protected] or @vtext.com. The app has a database for some countries and carriers but obviously its a drop in the bucket.
We are finding out that maybe not a lot of people know of such a feature on their phones, hence this poll! It'll help us try some other ideas, or implement this one differently.
Thanks!

PhoneLeash - free on Android Market
Rogers (in Canada) has this service.. but they charge us for it. So not many people actually have it.
Thanks to everyone who responded. As a result of the poll results, PhoneLeash now supports forwarding SMS (and missed calls, and location, and battery status) to another phone number via SMS. And replying back to these forwarded SMS' does not require an email-to-SMS feature. If you forward to a Google Voice number (or other PC-based SMS-capable services such as HeyWire, Pinger), you can use a PC, and enjoy a very nice feature set (see this review).
Thanks for the useful development for mobile users and internet users as well.
However, I'm already using this service with the help of third party i.e. TextMarketer.co.uk
Play (Poland) already has such a service. It is free for everyone. Polish speakers can check it here: http://www.blogplay.pl/2010/11/kopia-sms-na-email-beta/
I have this particular problem: I don't have a phone, but I have a Skype phone number, SMS is very convenient but Skype cannot receive SMS from phones however it can send SMS to phones. So I send my friends texts but it is one way.
I'm a web developer, not a platform developer <- much harder in my opinion, syntax
So, if I created a database to store messages, users, and used that as an API and I wanted a simple app with a text box that you can write into and receive, with a send button / search for user/contact, how hard is that to do for all three platforms? Connect to the database then communicate with this app as if it was a native SMS client.
Maybe it already exists...
I think it's a good idea.
Although I should just get a phone ha
Any thoughts would be appreciated, maybe I'll make it myself. Android then Windows then Apple
Hi, so we are 5 people with the same number, but only one person can send and receive SMS at any given time. If another person wants to take over, he needs to use #133+ and is then the only person being able to send and receive.
Sadly, we must use SMS, and we need to continue to use the number we already have. The main problem we have, is that it is not possible to see all SMS in one place. Each of the 5 of us only got some SMS. We checked with a gateway provider, they could send SMS as E-Mail then and everyone could see those and reply by E-Mail which would be great, but they would have to assign us a new number, which is not an option.
Do you guys maybe have a good solution for me? I have seen Rest SMS Gateway on AKPPure which might be a solution but no update in 3 years and I cannot really find any further information about it. Thanks for any good tips.
