Sieghard, That is a good resource. For me, Jaws 2025 beta has the field labels backwards.
It says enter phone number where it should be the country code and enter country code where it should be phone number. Once I figured that out after being told our landline is wireless from El Salvidor, it worked quite well and very fast. Richard, USA "INTROVERTS UNITE ... SEPARATELY IN YOUR OWN HOMES" -- as seen on a T-shirt with a power fist raised My web site: https://www.turner42.com From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, September 29, 2024 11:50 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: send to phone from PC OK, so you want to send him a texxt message not an email. If you use Outlook on your PC, follow these steps: 1. Open Microsoft Outlook on your computer. 2. Click on “New Email” to create a new email message. 3. Type your message in the email body as you would for a regular email. It must be less than 160 characters to be SMS. 4. Locate your recipient’s 10-digit phone number, determine their wireless carrier, and input that information into the “To” section (see steps below for details). 5. Optional: If you haven’t added your Sender number to Outlook, click on the “From” field and select “Other Email Address.” In the “From” field, enter your mobile phone number, and Outlook will prompt you to verify it. If you don’t want to send from your phone number, Outlook will simply deliver the SMS from your email address, which is why this step is optional. 6. Click “Send” to send the email, which will be converted into an SMS and delivered to the recipient’s mobile phone. 7. The recipient will receive your message as a standard text message on their phone. In order to determine your contacts wireless carrier and the correct email-to-SMS and email-to-MMS gateway addresses, use a website such as FreeCarrierLookup.com, here is information from their website and belo wthat a link to their website where you can enter your contacts phone number to get the information you need: FREE CARRIER LOOKUP SERVICE Enter a phone number and we'll return the carrier name and whether the number is wireless or landline. We have the latest data so our results are highly up-to-date and accurate for most countries. We also return the email-to-SMS and email-to-MMS gateway addresses for USA and Canadian* phone numbers. Welcome to FreeCarrierLookup.com <https://freecarrierlookup.com/#google_vignette> I just tried this with my phone number and here is what the result looks like: Phone Number: 12508771611 Carrier: TELUS Mobility Is Wireless: y SMS Gateway Address: 2508771...@msg.telus.com <mailto:2508771...@msg.telus.com> MMS Gateway Address: 2508771...@msg.telus.com <mailto:2508771...@msg.telus.com> NOTE: This result is not number-portability aware. Due to regulations in Canada, Data247 cannot provide local number portabiliy data for Canadian phone numbers to customers unless they first get approval from the Canadian Local Number Portability Consortium (CLNPC). The above information, by the way, is correct, but of course I don’t know if it is always correct espedcially in cases where somebody may have recently switched carriers.. -----Original Message----- From: 'Curtis Delzer' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2024 12:22 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: send to phone from PC I wish it to go to his text "messaging" app, thanks.
