There are still people who only use feature phones or even simpler. How can one use a key board to send messages via SMS. Here are my notes, Twitter, ICQ and SMS gateways at the moment. I marked this as deprecated today.<\/p>\n
The CMS states that this article was created in March 2017, but the content seems much older. I was looking at how to improve this wiki’s documentation of Skype, came across this note and think it’s way past its best; certainly there is the third party mysms<\/a> and microsoft now offer software to link your phone which meets this requirement, called imaginatively “my phone<\/a>“.\u00a0<\/p>\n ooOOOoo<\/p>\n Twitter was designed for this purpose, and still supports some functionality<\/a>. Setup may need to be done via the web but it should be possible to receive feeds and direct messages.<\/p>\n I have been using this sporadically but it has not proved to my satisfaction that it works. It has to many others though. As correspondents adopt whatsapp and Skype, I have needed this less.<\/p>\n This article,<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/221476\/how-to-send-sms-messages-from-any-pc-or-mac\/<\/p>\n has 4 suggestions, one of which involves installing an app on one’s mobile phone which, like messenger manages the sms and uses your phone as the transmitter. It’s called “Mighty Text”<\/a> on Android. This solution lets the phone do the heavy lifting, just like whatsapp for the web.<\/p>\n This article suggests that Gmail will work<\/a>, not so sure if it’ll work with Google Groups.<\/p>\n The 3rd of How to Geek’s suggestions is to use sms-gateways. They point at this resource<\/a> on github which lists the sms-email gateways.<\/p>\n I found this,\u00a0https:\/\/www.mysms.com<\/a>\/ while poking around. Here’s some hints on how to use it<\/a>.<\/p>\nTwitter<\/h3>\n
ICQ<\/h3>\n
Gmail<\/h3>\n
SMS Gateways<\/h3>\n
