Can anyone recommend an email/web to SMS gateway for sending occasional texts from my PC, please?
Preferably, one that's free or a few pence per text. Also, one that's reliable and doesn't harvest email addresses or telephone numbers for spam purposes.
CardboardFish is good. You send messages from their website and they look to the recipient as though you sent them from your phone, replies go to your phone.
I use MightyText - you install an app on the phone and then you can manage and interact with messages, contacts, schedules and photos etc from a web browser on any device. Your phone does the actual sending and receiving.
Yes. It just says to go to "New Message", which doesn't appear. "New Chat", does, but that is no good. I wanted to send a message to a five-digit number to confirm there was no change in my house voting arrangements, but I couldn't, so I called the 0800 number instead. But I would still be interested in getting this working. Maybe I'll just stop the next 10-year old I see walking past, he'll know (or she, must be non-partisan!).
It's too old for Alcatel to even acknowledge its existence, although it was a recent insurance replacement for one that had a cracked screen.
I think that I must be missing some gateway opening or setup, but have no idea how to do this. Serching has not provided the answer, every tutorial assumes this is already working.
