Hi
Yes it is possible. You need to first purchase sms tokens (doubt that is the proper name - Google "sending sms from the PC" or some such). You might then have 200 tokens with the root address @smsmanager.com say. Then in outlook (say) you would have an address like . You can then post to this address from excel (search this group on sending email from excel) or create address book entries in your mail client and post from there. We use it in our college to text students from our pc's. Typically the message goes in the header and the Plain Text option is on. There is probably no reply feature from such text messages. regards Paul On Jun 7, 9:59*pm, Charles wrote: Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to *program Excel to send Text msg to Cell Phones. |

Hi
I have some code which takes mobile numbers in Excel and creates an outlook address book from them. You just need to have the particular ' bit to add to the end of each number. I have found this more flexible than sending directly from Excel. Get back to me if you think that might be useful. regards Paul On Jun 10, 5:15*pm, Charles wrote: On Jun 8, 8:30*am, Paul Robinson wrote: Hi Yes it is possible.

Hi Paul,
I have been following this thread for a few days now and would be very interested to see your code.From your postings l assume the code takes a list of mobile numbers in Excel, creates the requisite entries in Outlook and then sends the designated SMS message. Please would you be kind enough to post the code on the newsgroup. Regards Michael Beckinsale |

Hi, I've never heard of SMS tokens before? It used to be you could
just email someone's phone number and the short text message would be conveyed. Each cell phone company has their own SMS email gateway extension -- , @mobile.mycingular.com, @txt.att.net, ETC.... http://www.appscout.com/2007/10/how_...o_sms_cell.php Ron DeBruin has excellent excel email text routines. |
