SMS via iChatav?

Hi,
Is there any app/plugin which will send sms via ichat to UK mobile phones? I know it's possible to do that in US. Or perhaps some handy widget which will do that instead?
Thanks
Peter

It only works if your Location set in the International Settings is set for the States and the Phone is also in the States.
I know of someone who sets it this way in the Far East to contact people in the States.
It does not work if your computer is set to another country or the phone is not one registered in the States.

Sending SMS via Bluetooth not working

Hi,
I have two Nokia phones, an N73 and an older 6600. I was able to pair both with the Bluetooth in my MacBook Pro SR.
I can access the web via dial-up networking, so that's working fine.
However, I am unable to send SMS via AddressBook over the phone. When I click the little connect-to-bluetooth button in AddressBook, I am first asked to pair the phone - even though it's already paired, and connects automatically on both the computer and the phone. Then, when I do enter the code on the phone, the connection just fails. The button gets a slight blue outline but the B symbol doesn't actually light up as it should.
Send SMS remains grayed out.
Has anybody got this to work or know what could be wrong?
PS: I am able to send SMS on Windows using MS SMS Sender, so I am sure that it's not the phone's fault.
This worked fine with my Titanium Powerbook with USB Bluetooth dongle.

Thanks for the response, but that's not it. The N73 is listed as supported, and iSync works perfectly well. Dial-Up networking also works perfectly well.
Only sending SMS via bluetooth doesn't work.
Also - no idea if this is related - faxing via the 6600 doesn't work anymore, which is strange because it used to work on the TiBook. Most people don't even know you can fax via Bluetooth phone and most newer phones have lost this capability so I guess this is just on its way out. Too bad because it was pretty useful...

}When i compile, there is no error. But when i execute it, the following error comes:
E:\java\JavaSmsApi>javac SerialToGsm.java
E:\java\JavaSmsApi>java SerialToGsm
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
What might be the error? Somebody help me. Thanks in advance.

You are probably trying to run this as a CLDC application instead of a MIDP application (aka a MIDLet). Since CLDC apps start with a main(....) your runtime looks for one but does not find it, hence the error. Please recheck the project configuration.

Java application to send an SMS via my DKU-5 serial cable.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum but....
I'm doing a project for college which involves Learning Content Managemnt System.
I've developed a few features for this including chat, forums, etc.
I want to develop an SMS system to use in conjunction with the chat application
ie. If a user is not online then the chat message will be sent to their mobile in the form of an SMS.
Looking for help in creating a Java application to send an SMS via my DKU-5 serial cable.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Best app for send sms via email?

Anyone got any idea what the best app is to download to send sms via email?
I downloaded text-free yesterday, but doesnt work and the message keeps bouncing back to my email in box as a failed mail delivery!!
I am in the UK in case that makes a difference!!

If you want to text people for free, i highly recommened AIM application. Its an IM app built in with an feature that allows you to text anyone on your contacts for free. Just let them know that its you texting them the first time.

SMS via Adress book

Hi
I'v been sending texts via address book no probs. A friend said when you receive a text it should pop up on the computer screen this does not happen for me. However when i receive a call this does show up on the screen. So should it work with texts also?
John

Not all phones are fully compatible. With my Nokia 6750 I can send SMS from the Mac, and the Nokia will flag an incoming call on the Mac, but I can't receive SMS on the Mac.

Address Book - mobile phone drop-down menu to send SMS via iChat

Using iChat, you can send a SMS text message to mobile phones using the format of +19375551212. And depending on the wireless service, the receipient can reply to the text message and that message will appear via iChat. Anyone know of any plugin or app that can add this menu option to the mobile phone number menu?

I answer this myself....http://home.earthlink.net/~dwbrowne/software/abscripts.html

Using Address Book to send SMS via Bluetooth

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to 10.4.6 (from 10.4.5) to take advantage of the new iSync support for the Nokia N70.
(I had previously been using a modified Metaclasses.plist hack for this and prior to the upgrade to .6, restored the original .plist)
I also followed the advice in Apple article 303419 about removing the phone from iSync.
So, upgrade fine and re paired phone with iSync but now find that I can no longer use Address Book to send SMS message or dial a call to current contact.
This worked fine with the hack!
Any ideas?

I am using OS X10.4.6 via Bluetooth connecting to Nokia N70 also. I have no problem with iSync and file transfer. But I can NOT send and receive SMS from Address book.

Possible to sending sms via mac mail?

Is it possible to send a message to a group (from address book contacts) and choose whether it goes via SMS (to a cellphone) for some recipients or email to other recipients?

In the USA, you can do so by addressing the email to {10digitPhoneNumber}@{cellCarrierDomainName}.
Examples for this, for USA carriers, are given at http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/939/smsemail_cingular_nextel_sprint_tmobile_verizonvirgin. I would imagine that the same sort of technique would work in AUS. The trick is finding out the carriers' domain names.
You might try a google search using search terms "email domain cellphone text message {list of names of cellular providers in AUS}" or have somebody text message your email address then it will show up in the "From:" in the email that you receive.
So to send to a group consisting of some cellular SMS addresses and regular email addresses, the group would just be defined accordingly, with the SMS-style email addresses. Just remember that there may be a restriction on the number of characters that can be received per message by the cell phone SMS recipients.

Send sms via java aplication

Hello i want to develop a java application that send sms what shell i do?
is there any kit or package that i can download and test it?

Hi, A few ways you can go.
Some Telecom services have a system that allows you to send emails to SMS phones. You'll have to contact the Telecom company to get it enabled, in order to prevent "spamming" peoples phones.
Some Telecoms have Web pages where you can fill out a form and send the message. You can simulate the HTTP message sent.
There are a few pay Web services that can be used if your Telecom doesn't offer these things.
Finally, you can read up on the TAP protocol, and use javacomm to send a message directly via serial port and modem to your Telecom. It's not that tough a protocol. This is the pre-Internet Age method.

CANNOT SEND SMS VIA SKYPE ON IPHONE

Hi. Please can someone advise me. I have skype credit, but cannot send sms' to a number which is not in my contacts list via my iphone. I can do this via my imac desktop computer, but why not via my phone? 2nd problem...it seems that you cannot reply to a skype text - is this so?

Partially. Apple support recommended that I enable "push" for this account. This fixed the problemvery nicely, but it was a HUGE hog on the device battery! I've since then disabled the "push" option for my account and Yahoo! mail seems to be still OK, although it does seem to take a little longer than expected to send even small emails.
