WinMo + Vista, SMS?

October 13, 2008 6:19 AM

I have a WinMo 6 phone and a Vista computer. How can I send SMS from the computer?

When I'm at home the phone is cabled to the computer. Outlook already works seamlessly -- any changes on the desktop are immediately synced to the phone. I want the same thing to happen, but with SMS. That is I want to be able to send and receive messages on the desktop.

But when I search for it I just find standard web-to-SMS services which are not what I want. Google-fu yielded a Nokia version which is exactly what I'm looking for, only I have the htc Touch Diamond.

WinMo smartphone or professional?

"only I have the htc Touch Diamond"

Sorry - missed that. I use MyMobiler while my device is synced. It lets you use the device natively as a windowed app on your PC. Might fill your need, though not as slick as that Nokia example.

Thanks :) Not as slick as the Nokia but it'll do fine for avoiding the irritating virtual keyboard.

You can do this with Outlook 2003 or 2007. Not sure if it works with your provider, though.

Sweet! I've been looking for something like this for forever (in fact I posted a related question about it here in 2005) and both of these look pretty damn slick.

Followup: MyMobiler works (if slightly buggy) fine :)
