| 1472676 | 2020-10-31 00:47:00 | Is it possible to send a text message from my computer, using gmail.com, to an NZ mobile phone which is on a local carrier? I have done that to a phone on a US carrier successfully. | rumpty (2863) | ||

| 1472678 | 2020-11-01 02:24:00 | www.sendatext.co Thanks for the suggestion piroska. I am a bit wary though about giving a third party someone's mobile number, in case the third party starts sending them spam texts, or other unwanted stuff. What could make it easier is if I had Spark's (in this case) SMS gateway address? |

You are using your own accounts on both MS and Whom ever your Phone provider are. | wainuitech (129) | ||

I did try texting a local phone (on Vodaphone) from my computer, using Gmail, sending to Vodaphone's SMS gateway address. Received an email response which told me that I had to join their business setup for this, which would enable texting to mobile phones from computers. |

| 1472682 | 2020-11-02 15:19:00 | Sign up to 2talk with the option to use xxx@sms.2talk.co.nz and you can do that from Outlook or Gmail. I use it frequently for scheduling reminders to people. Works very well. |

| 1472684 | 2020-11-02 20:49:00 | Thanks for the extra suggestions. 2talk would to the job, but it looks like way over the top for my occasional requirement! | rumpty (2863) | ||
