How can you convey a message? How to send free SMS via the Internet

Have you ever encountered the need to send SMS using a computer? Currently, this issue is not nearly as relevant as it used to be. Today, almost all operators provide this service as a package. That is, the user only needs to purchase a certain package of services and within its framework he is provided with from several hundred free messages to an infinite number of them.

However, even today a situation may often arise when you need to send an SMS, but you don’t have a mobile phone at hand, or there is no money left on your balance. And in this case, it would be very good to know how to send SMS from a computer to a phone for free.

Description of all methods of sending SMS via PC

Currently, there are still quite a large number of working ways to send a text message using a computer. And among the most relevant for the average user are the following:

  1. Sending through the website of the mobile operator;
  2. Sending using third-party online services;
  3. Using SMS mailing capabilities;
  4. Use of special software.

What's the best way? Each user will determine this for himself. All of the listed options are distinguished by ease of use, as well as functional features, so first it is better to study them all in more detail, and then choose which one you can use, if necessary.

Sending through the mobile operator's website

The simplest and most trouble-free way. Many users have long discovered all the functions of online accounts that can be registered on the website of their cellular provider. There you can get detailed information on your tariff, easily change it or order additional services, get acquainted with the latest news and promotions, and also take part in various sweepstakes and quizzes conducted by the operator. And the list of services provided by the operator often includes sending SMS. All you need to do is find the appropriate form and send a message.

The advantages of this method:

  • simplicity;
  • free;
  • availability.
  • free SMS applies only to the network;
  • if sent to another operator, money is withdrawn (you won’t be able to cheat, since the account is always linked to the number);
  • The number of characters in a message is often strictly limited.

As you can see, this is a completely working method and is quite enough to satisfy most of the needs of the average user.

Sending through third-party online services

In the past, there were simply a huge number of sites providing such services. However, after operators themselves implemented it on their online resources, their number decreased significantly. However, some of them have survived to this day, so armed with a search engine you can quickly find a couple of suitable sites.

Their advantage is that you can send SMS to any operator, but the main disadvantage is the presence of advertising inserts in the message. But this is understandable; the creators of such resources also need to make money somehow.

SMS mailing

How to send SMS from computer to phone using this method? It must be said right away that the method is quite labor-intensive compared to others. First of all, you will need to find an email service that supports SMS messaging and register an e-mail address there, preferably maintaining complete anonymity. In the future, by logging into your work account, you can send messages to different operators, focusing on the following format: “phone number@Internet address of the provider” (this request must be entered instead of the recipient’s usual e-mail address). You can find out the necessary operator details using an Internet search engine.

Why all this rigmarole? This method has one wonderful advantage - using an anonymous mailbox you can also send anonymous SMS. True, there are also disadvantages. The first is the difficulty of finding a suitable mailer. And the second is that some providers could change the algorithm for sending to subscribers, or even abandon it altogether. So it won't work in all cases.

Using special software

Also quite a popular method today. It is distinguished by its quite acceptable simplicity (you just need to install the program on your computer, configure it according to the instructions in the readme file, and you can get to work) and efficiency. Messages are sent to most operators without any special restrictions.

True, as one might expect, there are also disadvantages. The first is the price of the issue. Paid programs are not cheap (but they also have a number of interesting functions, such as anonymity or number replacement). The second is a very meager selection of free programs and the fact that dangerous viruses are often disguised as such software, so you need to carefully monitor the reaction of the antivirus and not ignore its warnings.

It is also possible to send SMS from communication programs such as Mail Agent or QIP.

Many people send each other text messages from their mobile phones every day, without even thinking about what SMS is and how this service affects modern society.

What is SMS?

So what is SMS? It is unlikely that anyone will be able to decipher the Russian abbreviation, since it is just a transcription of the English SMS (Short Message Service), which means “short message service”. This special technology allows mobile users to share mini-letters among themselves (160 in total in Latin and no more than 70 characters in Cyrillic).

Today, such messages are an integral part of the modern world and mobile technologies in general. This service is used by more than 90% of cellular customers, and the number of messages sent has long exceeded hundreds of billions per year. By sending a short text to the number of another subscriber, you can make an appointment, notify about an important event, congratulate you on your birthday or express condolences for the loss of a loved one.

When did the short message service appear?

The short message service was first created specifically for GSM Phase 1 (a digital standard supporting data rates of up to 10 kbit/s). The introduction of SMS into the standard took place in 1989, thanks to well-known people: Friedhelm Hillebrand (Deutsche Telekom), Kevin Holley (Cellnet), Ian Harris (Vodafone) and others.

The first message was sent in December 1992, in the UK. An SMS was sent from a computer to a phone over Vodafone's GSM network. It was a simple Merry Christmas.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, SMS messages began to be exchanged only a year ago.

Advantages and disadvantages of short message service

A lot of time has passed since the first text message was sent, and since then the mobile communication service has changed a lot, as well as received many advantages. But, unfortunately, due to the rapid development of technology, in addition to its advantages, the SMS sending service also has disadvantages. All this is described in the corresponding table below.

Advantages and disadvantages of SMS

Advantages

Flaws

Supports all cellular networks, from GSM to UMTS.

Slow message delivery speed - from 5 to 10 seconds, depending on the mobile operator.

Receive notifications about the delivery or receipt of SMS.

Limit on the number of entered characters per message.

The ability to send a text message to a subscriber who is out of network coverage or in situations where a telephone conversation is not possible (for example, during a meeting).

Frequent technical problems with sending SMS messages between different mobile operators.

But, despite the presence of quite significant shortcomings, SMS is very popular among mobile subscribers. In addition, almost every year many developers try to improve the service. They produce various devices and software that are designed to make life easier for users. These include, for example, T9 input technology or voice SMS dialing for Android phones. With these features on your smartphone, you can forever forget about the inconvenience of typing a text message.

How does SMS work?

Short text messages are transmitted in the same way as a voice signal, from the base transceiver station (BS) through switching centers and to the SMSC (Short Message Service Center) message processing center. It is SMSC that is responsible for receiving, storing and further sending them. After the message reaches the processing center, it is sent to the nearest BS, where the recipient is located.

If the subscriber’s phone is turned off or he finds himself out of the network coverage area, the center will save the message until he is in touch again. If the recipient is not online for a long time, the sender will receive an SMS notification indicating that it is impossible to send the message. If the switch has established a connection with the subscriber, then the message is transmitted through standard signaling channels.

When a text is received, it is displayed on the phone screen and stored in the subscriber identification module, SIM card. If the connection fails, the switch notifies the SMSC center about this in order to repeat the transmission of information.

Methods for sending SMS messages

What SMS is and how this service works has already been said earlier. Now you can find out how a text message is sent.

There are only three ways to send SMS:

  • From mobile to mobile phone.
  • From computer to mobile phone.
  • From mobile phone to computer.

How to send SMS from mobile to mobile?

To send a short text message from one mobile phone to another mobile phone you need to:

  1. Go to the “Messages” section in the main phone menu.
  2. Click “Create message”.
  3. Add the recipient's number (manually or using contact search).
  4. Print the message itself.
  5. Click "Submit".

In addition, some mobile phones allow you to send SMS through Contacts. To do this you need:

  1. Go to "Contacts".
  2. Select recipient number.
  3. Click on the message icon next to the phone number.
  4. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 of the standard procedure for sending SMS.

It’s also worth mentioning special widgets (simple controls) in new smartphones. The icons of these small programs can be placed on the main screen of your mobile phone and you can go to the “Messages” menu without performing any additional actions.

Sending short text messages is a paid service. The cost of SMS is indicated in tariff plans and can vary significantly depending on the selected mobile operator. It can be from 1 rub. and above, the most expensive messages sent to other countries.

How to send SMS from computer to mobile phone?

Sending SMS from a computer to a phone is even easier than from one mobile phone to another. This can be done using the website of a specific cellular operator or third-party resources, of which there are more than enough on the Internet. Most of these online resources do not charge a fee for providing services, but in return they attach small advertising messages to the main text of the message.

To send from the site, you need to know:

  • name of the mobile operator (Beeline, Megafon, MTS, etc.);
  • recipient's phone number;
  • country and operator code (for example, when sending SMS to Ukraine, instead of the usual +7(9xx), the code +3(8xx) is used.

In addition to the websites of cellular operators and third-party Internet resources, you can also send messages using programs familiar to many users. For example, the function of sending SMS is present in Mail Agent, QIP or Skype. But such a service will already cost money.

How to send SMS from a mobile phone to a computer and is it possible?

Many who know what SMS is will not believe it, but you can send a message from a mobile phone to a computer. To do this, the recipient will need an ordinary GSM modem, which must be connected to a PC.

To receive SMS messages on your computer, you must first install a SIM card in the modem from which the lock (PIN code) will be removed. In some cases, in order to receive messages, the user will have to make additional hardware settings.

Common problems with sending SMS and ways to solve them

Many people often encounter various problems when sending messages. For example, an SMS notification does not arrive or, after successfully sending a message, the recipient does not receive it. In such cases, there are several ways to solve problems:

  1. Check the availability of funds in the account.
  2. Check the availability and congestion of the connection (SMS often does not work correctly on holidays).
  3. Change SMS sending via GPRS to GSM.
  4. Check if SMSC is installed on your phone and if it is configured correctly.
  5. Try sending a message in full international format - +7(9xx)xxx-xx-xx.
  6. Check whether the correct SMS format is set in the mobile phone settings. Russian mobile operators only accept text and GSM alphabet formats.
  7. Check that the SIM card is full (if you do not receive SMS notifications).
  8. Contact the recipient, there may be problems on his part.
  9. Call your mobile operator's service desk and ask them to send you new SMS configuration settings.

Fun facts about texting

And finally, some interesting facts about SMS messages:

  • The USA is the leader in sending short text messages.
  • Every year, subscribers around the world send more than 6 trillion text messages, which is more than 190 thousand SMS per second.
  • In order to reduce the number of characters in one SMS message, residents of many countries use abbreviations of certain phrases and phrases.
  • People who frequently type messages, including SMS, may develop tenosynovitis (inflammation of the hand tendon).
  • Modern cellular networks can receive SMS messages during a subscriber's telephone conversation. This does not affect mobile or voice traffic in any way.
  • “Smishing” is a special type of fraud through sending SMS messages, the purpose of which is to seize the user’s confidential data or his money.
  • A person's concentration on typing SMS is much greater than that of a driver.
  • The Guinness Book of World Records has a registered record for the fastest SMS typing speed, which is 264 characters per minute.
  • In many countries, the service of sending short text messages is more popular than a regular telephone conversation. Thus, 74% of users worldwide use this service.

Today, few people imagine a full life without correspondence with friends. Often this function is performed using a variety of instant messengers that work via the Internet. However, sometimes you may need to send a regular text message to your phone. In this case, you may not always have to pay the operator for sending such an SMS. In this article we will look at how to send a message from a computer to a phone using the most common methods.

Method 1. Operator website

The first method is the simplest, but sometimes you have to search. Where exactly on the site is the required function located? The fact is that most operators have provided the ability to send messages to their subscribers for free through the corporate website. To do this, you just need to know which operator the recipient is a subscriber to and fill out the appropriate form.

For that. To prevent users from abusing this feature, operators usually limit the ability to send up to several messages per day from one IP address. By the way, many foreign operators also have this function, so you can send messages to your friends who live abroad in this way.

Method 2: Installing additional programs

There is software, often distributed free of charge, that performs the same functions. Its convenience is that you do not have to select a provider and look for the site address. Just enter the phone number and the text of the message, and the program will automatically select the desired address and send it. Sometimes a captcha may be required, depending on the security measures in place on the operator's corporate website.

The advantage of this method is its simplicity, but be careful when searching for and installing such software, since there are a large number of programs that claim to perform this function, but in fact are virus software. In view of this, download programs only from trusted sources.

Method 3: Sending messages via email

Few people know, but you can often send SMS from a regular email account. Most operators provide an address for each number in the format “number@corporate_site_address”, when sending a letter to which it reaches the recipient in the form of a regular SMS. To find out if a particular operator has this opportunity, use the search or call the hotline.

The advantage of this method is complete anonymity of sending if it is made from a new mailbox. In addition, in this way you can even send messages to a certain circle of people, for example, your clients, and completely free of charge.

Method 4. Sending through online services

Also quite simple but effective method. Its operation is often somewhat reminiscent of the principle of programs installed on a computer for sending messages, with the only difference being that you do not need to install anything. You just need to open a website that contains a variety of options for sending messages and select the appropriate one. Depending on how such a site was created, it can either redirect directly to operator pages for sending messages, or send them directly from its form.

Whatever method you choose, you can always send a free message to any person you need, even if he does not have the Internet at that moment.

Video instruction

Good day, friends, the topic of today’s post, as you already understood from the title, will be dedicated to our favorite social network.

Yes, in contact there are many subtleties that we are not even aware of. And it is precisely one of these subtleties that we will understand in this post, I hope you like it.

How to forward a message on VK to another person

Many people ask this question and don’t even realize that this can be done very simply.

The obvious way is this:

  • Step 1 – open the dialog from which we want to forward the message we need.

  • Step 2 – now, having opened our dialog, we check the boxes for those messages that we want to forward. In the picture below I showed how this is done.

  • Step 3 – at the top of the site we see the “Forward” button, click it.

  • Step 4 - we are transferred to the page with our dialogues, or simply to those with whom we recently communicated.
  • Step 5 – select the dialogue or the person to whom we want to forward. For example, I will choose my friend Denis.

  • Step 6 – below we see that our messages are hanging, we just need to click on the “Send” button, as shown in the picture below.

Well, is it so difficult? The same can be done from any phone, smartphone, android, the principle is always the same, first we copy the necessary messages, and then send them to the person who needs it.

This is what forwarded messages look like

Non-obvious way to forward messages

To be honest, this method is really not obvious, since here we will not be sending a message, but a screenshot of it. How do you understand that sending these messages is needed in order to prove something.

For example, a person wrote bad words to you, and you took and forwarded these messages to his mother.

On the Internet this is called “proof”, the same evidence. But, for these purposes, you can use not only VK functions, but also ingenuity.

If you don’t have the “lightshot” program on your computer, I recommend downloading it.

You can use it to make quick screenshots. To send, we launch this program - click on the “PrtSc” button - select the screen area - and forward it to the person we need.

We forward a message from the wall

Now, if we need to show a person any of our posts on the wall, we can use the standard functions of the social network.

To do this you need:

  • We find the desired entry on our wall.
  • We click on the time and only this entry appears. It will be in the middle, everything else falls, as it were, on the second layer. Well, like this, as shown in the picture.

  • At the top of the post we find the link and copy it.

  • We paste this link to the person you deem necessary.

Again I want to ask the question: is it difficult? I think not, but for beginners who did not know this, I am sure this knowledge will be useful.

In this article, I told you how you can forward a message on VK to another person. If this knowledge was useful to you, then write your comment, whether I wrote everything or forgot something.

Sincerely, Yuri Vatsenko!

Read about all the ways to send SMS from a computer for free and for a fee. To Megafon, MTS, Tele2 or to the phone of any other operator.

Many of us spend a lot of time at the computer. And if at some point you want to send an SMS, then why reach for your smartphone? Advanced users know that a message can also be sent using a PC. If you are not familiar with such a trick, then we advise you to read our article from the first to the last letter.

In fact, it was possible to send SMS for free from a computer without registration even during the reign of push-button mobile phones. The person was very surprised that an SMS with the signature of a friend or relative came from an unfamiliar number. And now the number of ways to send messages using a computer has even increased. Conventionally, they can all be divided into several categories:

  • Using the operator’s website or third-party online services;
  • Application of special software;
  • Remote use of a smartphone via air or cable.

But let's take a closer look at the easiest ways to send SMS from a desktop computer or laptop.

Send SMS from a computer through the official website of the operator

Each operator has its own official website. And almost all of them provide the opportunity to log in to it by visiting your “personal account”. After this, all sorts of options will become available to you, such as connecting services or changing the tariff. And in your “personal account” there may be a window with a form for sending a text message.

We can say that this is the easiest way to send SMS to MTS from a computer (or to another operator). However, there is a catch here. If you are logged in, for example, on the MegaFon website, then you can send a free message only to the number of this operator. If you want to send an SMS to a subscriber of another operator, you will have to pay a certain amount, according to your tariff. Another disadvantage of this method is the strict limit on the number of characters - it will most likely not be possible to send a long message.

And yet this method has a right to exist. To send SMS in this way, you only need a computer, an installed browser and access to the World Wide Web. Well, you had to log in to your operator’s “personal account” at least once so that the browser remembers the password. Otherwise, you will have to reach for your smartphone, to which this password will come in the form of an SMS, and therefore the whole essence of the idea is lost.

So that you don't stress, here is a list of official websites of the largest Russian operators:

Send SMS from a computer via online services

In the case of mobile operator websites, there is one difficulty. You need to go to your “personal account”. What if you have never been there? Then you will have to abandon this option. There is no need to worry; you can send SMS to MegaFon from a computer (and to numbers of other operators) through other sites. Some of them have been around since the days of push-button phones, so don’t be surprised by their archaic layout. Such sites usually present a form for entering text and a phone number to which an SMS should be sent.

Sometimes the user additionally needs to fill in several special fields. For example, you may be offered a way to send a message. The site can also support authorization - in this case, you will have access to the phone book when you need to enter regularly used numbers. Very convenient if you are going to send SMS from your computer on an ongoing basis! Of course, the site will also have protection from robots - you will be required to enter a captcha. Otherwise, spammers would use the service with all their might.

Here are just a few examples of online services for sending SMS messages:
  • IPSMS.ru is a very simple site that will easily load even on the weakest computer. A phone book is available, and the number of supported operators is in the tens, if not hundreds.
  • MySMSBox.ru - here a special bot is used to send messages. Maximum simplicity and anonymity - you only need to enter text with a number. If necessary, you can enable transliteration. The site keeps a history of correspondence, which is very convenient. There is also a collection of SMS here - so you can quickly select some congratulatory text. Of course, to get full functionality you will need authorization - otherwise how will the service remember you?
  • SMS-MMS-free.ru is a site that tells in detail about free methods of sending SMS and even MMS. It also contains the familiar form for sending a message from a computer. However, for some time now it does not support sending SMS to MTS numbers, which must be kept in mind. An interesting feature of this service is the ability to convert a voice message into a text message - this function is available when using the Chrome browser.
  • VKSMS.ru is the simplest site of its kind, which nevertheless has a modern interface. Here, even the captcha does not cause any problems - you just need to click on it. Everything is absolutely free and anonymous! A separate service is used to send messages to corporate clients.

And these are just the most popular sites of this kind! If you search, you will find many other online services for sending SMS. And it is possible that you will like the design of some of them more. Go for it!

Special software

Sometimes you don’t really want to go into the browser, open some bookmarks and perform other similar actions. Sometimes you just want to double-click on the icon of a computer program that would allow you to send text as an SMS. Do similar applications exist? We hasten to give a positive answer. And it’s really more convenient to work with their help. In fact, you don't need to log in - this process happens automatically as soon as you launch the program. Therefore, you immediately get access to your correspondence. So, which applications can you use to send SMS for free from your computer?

iSendSMS is not the latest program, as evidenced by its slightly outdated interface. But it is important that it copes with its task - it sends SMS and even MMS via the Internet. The message history opens in a separate tab, and the program also has a “Contacts” section. Everything is very convenient, and you can send messages to the numbers of many different operators - not only Russian ones. An interesting feature of the application is the ability to set the sending time. That is, you can program the sending of a message at a specific time and even date - it does not have to be today.

Mail.ru Agent is a very popular program that was previously downloaded for access to ICQ. Now it is a full-fledged messenger, which is also capable of sending text messages in the form of SMS. At the same time, numbers of Russian operators, as well as operators from some CIS countries, are supported. The program's interface turned out to be nice - it is designed in the style of the well-known Mail.ru website.

There are other computer programs that can send SMS. As you may have noticed, all of these applications use the Internet. That is, they are no different from the online service. Are there programs that do not require the Internet? You may be quick to say that this cannot happen. No matter how it is!

Using a smartphone

The subtitle may confuse you. Which smartphone if we are thinking about how to send SMS from a computer to a phone? Don’t rush to close the page, now everything will become clear to you.

Surely there is a router in your apartment. In this case, it is not difficult for you to establish a connection between your smartphone and your computer. Do you see what we're getting at? You can install a special program on your PC that will send SMS via a nearby smartphone. And sometimes for these purposes you don’t even need any program - any Internet browser is enough. But you will have to install some kind of application on your smartphone - Android doesn’t offer anything like that by default.

Airdroid

One of the most convenient ways to send SMS is by using an application called Airdroid. It is primarily designed to easily transfer files from a computer to a smartphone over the air. But along the way, you can remotely perform many other actions with your mobile device, including sending SMS messages. How is this implemented?

To begin, you install the application on your smartphone by downloading it from Google Play. Then it needs to be launched. You will immediately see a special URL consisting of numbers and dots on the screen of your mobile device. It must be entered into the appropriate line of your computer browser. As a result, a kind of desktop will be displayed. You can easily figure it out on your own.

Please note that the smartphone and computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network! However, a wired connection of your computer to the router won’t hurt either.

Of course, in this case there is no question of free SMS transmission - you will pay for them in strict accordance with your tariff. But you can send text messages directly from your computer, which is sometimes very convenient. Just don’t forget to bookmark the URL displayed on your smartphone screen to access the corresponding page as quickly as possible. Better yet, register in the application, otherwise the URL will change depending on what IP your router provides your smartphone with.

The Airdroid application is distributed free of charge. You will only need to pay for a subscription if you want to transfer heavy files over the air. In our case, this is not necessary - SMS messages weigh only a few kilobytes.

"Free SMS from your computer"

The name of the application makes it clear what it does. But don’t take the word “free” too literally. No, as with Airdroid, you will pay per message according to the terms of your plan. But yes, the application developers will not take any money from you, since the program is distributed free of charge.

This application works on the client-server principle. You download the program to your smartphone, after which it begins to act as a server. Next, you need to download a separate program to your computer, which will act as a client. It is in this program (the download link is in the description on Google Play) that you will enter the text of the message and the number to which it should be sent. If necessary, you can access the phone book - this makes sending SMS much easier.

Cortana

If your computer runs Windows 10, then you probably use the Cortana voice assistant. Did you know that he can also send an SMS to a smartphone, and from it to another subscriber’s number? He does this completely free of charge.

Initially, the voice assistant needs to be configured - otherwise it will not even know about the existence of your smartphone. You will also need to install Cortana from Google Play. Of course, this will be unacceptable for those who already use Google Assistant or some others. But nothing can be done - this is the only way the computer Cortana can access the SMS sending function.

Another problem is that with this assistant you will be speaking the text using your voice. And it will not always transform correctly. However, Cortana is constantly learning itself, so errors will gradually occur less often. But there is nothing to be done about the lack of support for Windows 7, the most popular operating system today.

Join

Another way to send SMS to TELE2 from a computer (or to another operator’s number). First, you need to download Join from Google Play and install it on your smartphone, providing all the necessary permissions. The difference from previous options is that instead of a computer program or a special website, a browser plugin is used here.

Installing such a plugin will allow you not only to send SMS, but also to see all the notifications that come to your smartphone. You will also be able to read the incoming SMS - perhaps a response to your message. You can also take screenshots, change wallpaper, share your location, and even communicate with Google Assistant. In short, it turns out to be a very multifunctional solution. But it is expensive - only a trial version is distributed free of charge.

MySMS

Another service that allows you to send SMS to MTS for free from your computer. Yes, and to the numbers of any other operators, too, because the sending will be carried out from your smartphone. As in the previous cases discussed, you must first download and install the MySMS application, distributed via Google Play for free. But further actions are already different.

The main advantage of MySMS is that the creators of this service have provided many options for using a computer. You can use the Chrome browser extension. But if this is not available to you, or you simply do not want to see an extra icon in the top bar of this browser, then there is an option in the form of installing a separate program. At the same time, the developers have created two versions of the program - they are intended, as you might guess, for Windows and Mac OS.

What's the catch? The fact is that to use this service you will have to subscribe. To be fair, it is not very expensive - Airdroid is much more expensive, like many other competitors.

Summarizing

Of course, there are other programs that send SMS using a smartphone located somewhere nearby. In particular, we can recall the following applications:

  • Pulse SMS is one of the few services that can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. But subscribing to it also costs money, albeit not the most.
  • Pushbullet is another service that uses a browser plugin to manage it. In the same way, you can send files to your smartphone. The free version supports sending up to 100 SMS per month. If you want more, you'll have to sign up for an expensive subscription.

In short, there is plenty to choose from. But we hope that you have already made your choice. Or did you read this article just for fun? We would like to hear your opinion in the comments.
