Send SMS thru computer
 

Hello Everyone!

I am a new member to the site and this is my first post.

I recently bought Nokia n900 and loving it so far.

I was looking for an application which will let me send/receive SMSes from PC thru Nokia n900.

I am using Windows 7 (64 bit).

Thank you all for any kind of help in advance.

Do you mean that you want to type the message on your PC and then send it as SMS, coming from the phone number of your N900?

Does your cellular provider not offer that possibility through its website?

Hello Scaler,

Thank you for the reply.

<< Do you mean that you want to type the message on your PC and then send it as SMS, coming from the phone number of your N900?>>
[Anand] Yes, that is what i would like to do.

I am using t-mobile and i do not believe they have such ability on their website.

I've used Oxygen Software in past to send/receive SMSes for my Nokia e90 from my laptop. But it seems this software does not support N900.

Tmobile does have a user interface for sending text via their customer portal

believe it shows as coming from 10digitphonenumber@tmo.net

Xopher,

Yes, but it only lets you send sms to TMo users (says website). Also I wud like to receive sms at the same time without using phone.

Nokia PC Suite (version 7.1.51.0) can send SMS from PC (when the mobile is connected by USB/Bluetooth in Suite Mode)

Creating and sending text messages
To create and send an SMS message from your PC, do the following:
Select File > New > Message. A blank message dialog opens.

Select recipients for the message in the following ways:

Write the phone number of the recipient to the To: field.

Click Select recipients to open the contact database, double-click to select the recipients and click OK.

Write your message in the text area.

Click Send message.



Your SMS is sent to the selected recipients.

Tip:
When sending a message to someone whose contact information is in the contact database, you can write the recipient's name directly to the To: field and the recipient's information is retrieved. If the recipient has multiple phone numbers, right-click the contact name to select which phone number to use.

You can also create and send text messages from the Contacts view of Nokia Communication Centre. In the Contacts view, highlight one or more contacts and click Send message. The message editor opens with the recipients' phone numbers filled in, and you can write your message in the text area.

Hello Wikiwide,

Thank you for the reply!

As far as I know sending messages from Nokia PC Suite (version 7.1.51.0) is not supported.

When I go to File>>New>>Message option is disabled.

Unless I am missing something.

Please advice.

Thanks again!

Quick reply.
Try Ovi Suite, version 2.2

Both Nokia PC Suite and Ovi Suite can work with N900 (in USB PC Suite Mode), just make sure that only one of these two programs is running on the PC (otherwise, the two suites will fight with each other)

However, I'm afraid that neither of them supports sending/receiving messages yet. I don't know. Ask Nokia.

Wikiwide,

Yes i have been using both apps to connect to my N900 and none of them have this feature available yet.

I was really hoping that there would be some third party app available to send/receive sms from PC.
