What do I need to send cheap SMS Texts?

1.  A Computer running the Skype software (free download)
2.  Only $15 of credit in your Skype account - enough for over 120 SMS Texts!

3.  Read Skype Books and Guides to learn the secrets of getting the most out of Skype.

Using the SMS function:

The texts look exactly the same as from your mobile/cell/hand phone.  If you "verify" your mobile phone number at Skype -> Tools -> Options -> Chats & SMS -> SMS Settings, the messages cost ~$0.12 and will look as if they came from your mobile/cell/hand phone and the recipients can reply to them.  The reply of course will go to your mobile.  If Skype goes off-line (which may not be immediately shown in the task-bar icon), clicking "Send SMS" does nothing - and no error message is given.
Bookmark this!The "Sent: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" record in the "History" tab is the only reliable confirmation that the SMS was sent.

Problems? Test Skype:

Checking if your internet connection is "live" is important. The green/grey Skype indicator Bookmark this!in the Windows taskbar gives a reliable display if your connection is "up":  Internet connected = Skype    Offline = Skype

What type of Internet connection do I need?

Bookmark this!Sending SMS Texts works fine with any internet connection, even a 33.6k modem line. For other Skype functions, use broadband.
To get the most out of Skype, download the FREE Skype "EasyGuide" Booklet
