Sending SMS from a Windows PC

Thanks to the Internet, you have different methods for sending SMS from a PC : online sites, app bars, mobile carrier websites, software, apps, email (Google, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) …

Sending solution complementary to your smartphone

Sending text messages is very useful when you need to send a text and your iPhone is not within reach.

By sending a text from your PC or Mac, it will appear on your recipient's mobile as if you had sent it from your iPhone. And you can reply to your subscribers from wherever you are: either using your computer or even your mobile phone.

Creating text messages from your computer via websites

Many online sites allow you to send SMS. To send SMS from your computer via these websites, you must first register on the site.

Some offer subscription plans or text bundles, allowing you to send SMS, or a set number of messages per day at a very low cost. Mobile carriers also offer this service on their websites.

On the Bouygues and Orange websites, you can send texts by logging into your online customer account. You have the same capabilities as when sending a text from your smartphone.

However, you can only send a limited number of texts per day to all mobile carriers online. Orange offers paid text packages for delivery from your device.

Managing text creation via online sites is ideal when you want to send occasional messages within France or abroad: the price per text is the same for all destinations, and you incur no extra charges from your carrier.

SMS from PC using applications

Beyond websites or software, applications have been developed to allow you to send and receive texts from any device in Android, Apple (iPhone, Mac), Google, or Windows versions: PC, mobile phone, tablet, etc. Some examples:

• Skype: you can create messages to any compatible number (iPhone, Android, Windows, etc.) or to your Skype contacts who have saved a number in their profile. You just need to have Skype installed on your computer or mobile phone.
• MySMS is a multi-platform tool that lets you create, send, and receive text messages on any device, regardless of your mobile carrier.
