How can I save money sending SMS Texts from my PC??

Install the FREE Skype software that allows very low cost SMS Text Messages to any cell/mobile phone.  It also allows you to make free phone and video calls using "Voice over IP" to other Skype users as well as providing free Instant Messaging (IM) and file transfer.

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.
