How do i send sms messages from my mac to a phone

the gurl from apple said i could send sms messages from my imac to a phone. How do i di that?

Hi Lanny,
Actually those two pics don't tell you what you need to know.
The First is correct as it can be from the Messages app but the second goes to no way to tell you how to do and b fact does not even mention SMS messages.
@ 10411
You will need to have an AIM or AIM Valid name that you can add to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts at the + icon below the list.
Next the Mac need to be in the United States.
Go to System Preferences > Language and Text and set the Region to the Untied States.
(In iChat this added SMS items to some of the Menus in iChat)
The iPhone has to be on a Carrier that is in the United States   See list
Which in turn means the phone number is a United States one (+1 country code)
This means you add the Cell/mobile number as if it were a Buddy to an AIM list.
So Creating an Address Card for "SMS Test" and adding the mock number +1234567890 to that I get this in Messages  (Mousing over the Name to see the "Screen Name" which is the number in this case)
Basically this is a feature that iChat has always had since AIM included a link to SMS to certain Phones.
Messages does everything iChat did/does and this includes SMS Messaging via an AIM Buddy list even though in this case the Menu items has disappeared.
AS has been said there are also other methods.

    hi...
    what we need to send sms message from pc to mobile and how can send it ????
    plz give me step by step
    thx

    Sending an sms message from your PC can be done in many ways. Firstly this can be send via email, simply type in the to field the number followed by the gateway. for example, [email protected] There are also a number of websites that allows you to do this simple search google for "send text message" and will see a list. The one I use is [http://www.wetextfree.com] it works and its free. Hope this helps you.

  • My friend has an iphone with no data plan, how do i send sms messages without my own iphone trying to send an imessage

    i have an iphone5 with a data plan, my friend has an iphone5 with no data plan, 
    how do i send sms messages to him without my own iphone trying to send an imessage
    im sure we can tap on the message and select "send as text or sms"
    but is there a setting that says 'if recipient has no data, then send as text' - so its more automated
    almost like the setting that says 'if i have no data then send sms'.

    I have an iPhone 5s with a data plan but I have iMessage turned off. Everyone I know with an iPhone has no problem sending me texts and they automatically go out as sms. If your friend doesn't want others to send messages via iMessage even when he has wi-fi access he can turn iMessage off in Settings > Messages.  If that doesn't resolve the issue see the quote below from (ignore the non-Apple phone references): Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
    If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

    This document details how to create triggers on a table that send out JMS messages.
    In this example, the messages are going to Oracle BAM.. your message could go to your J2EE application listening to its own topic/queue.
    an alternative idea.
    you could also just cache your lookup table with something like Oracle Coherence and than try to ensure that all changes to the lookup go through Coherence, so that you won't need to do notification from the db up to the application. the application and the lookup data management tool would be using the data grid for management of the lookup table data, and the data grid (coherence) would persist the lookup data changes back to the db.

    Just downloaded the new Yosemite and trying to send text messages from my mac to non iPhone users, how do you do this new feature?

    I think you need to wait on this for iOS 8.1.  Apple Messaging works now, but via SMS you need your phone linked.

  • How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?

    How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?
    If I have a codetable in database that has new or modified values I have to refresh the codetable in my J2EE application.
    Most effective way would be send a message to initiate a table reload from J2EE app, but I don't know how to do this.
    Now I have a background thread that regular reads the table and looks for changes.

    How do I send text messages from my Ipod touch?  The "send" button does not light up.

    First of all, you need you have at least iOS 5 installed. Second, the person you are texting must have an iDevice with iOS 5 or higher installed. You can´t send messages to an non-iDevice. You´ll also need an Wi-Fi network to send iMessages. Hope it helped!

  • How do I copy SMS messages from phone to memory ca...

    After I change the option of saving the messages from phone memory to memory card on my E90, I don't see any of the messages stored on the previous choice in INBOX. This is ok, I understood this.. But.. How do I copy the messages from phone memory to memory card for example ? Reply pls..

    I think I kind of solved this issue.. Try doing this. Copy all files from memory card to a back-up folder in your PC, after connecting the phone to the PC via 'Data Transfer Mode', by clicking CTRL+A while in Memory Card in Windows Explorer. (Doing this, you will also copy the hidden files, if you haven't clicked the option to view hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer). Afterwards, format the memory card via phone, or simply CTRL+A + Delete from explorer to fully erase the microSD card. In phone, messages, in other settings, choose phone memory to store SMS messages, and then.. tell a friend to send you an SMS message, or simply send one to yourself. After receiving the message, go back to settings->Other, save sms messages to:, choose Memory Card, and the phone should ask you, whether to move or not the original messages. If you choose to move them, and NOT to save the original messages, entire messages from phone should move to the memory card. (If you would have chosen to save the original messages, the mesages that you move, would STILL BE in the phone memory.) If you want to do this again, to move them from memory card back to phone memory, change the memory to save sms messages (and if at first you have chosen NOT to save original messages, the phone should 'ask' you again for the same question.)
    And, btw, if you're probably curious.. (as I was ) where the messages were saved, in memory card, after the first time you copy the messages to memory card, check the memory card via 'Data Transfer' mode on your PC's Windows Explorer. I found them in the 'private' folder somewhere.. There should be a mail and mail2 folder there.. Also, the phone browsers, FExplorer, and Y-Browser won't be able to access the private folder. (For security reasons, bleah )
    Afterwards you can copy all software folders, images, music files, documents, etc. from the backed-up memory card folder you created at the first steps, since we all know E90 is a smart cutie, and will automatically detect all files, software, etc., after you copy-paste them.
    Cheers, hope this helps
