Does anyone know of some software that will send sms on my pc through my xda when it is in the sync cradle?

Cheers

I don't know about sending through your xda but just send an email to the phone number @mobile.att.net or @tmomail.net

i.e 5551234567@tmomail.net

Att and Tmobile are the only sms gateways I know. I'm sure they all have one though. - Jim

There is a new product called CoolSMS (or is it SMS Cool???). I saw it last week on Handango.

I've tried it, it works in that u can sync the sms in your inbox and type the SMS on your PC and sent it through the O2. But as most 1.0 version there a few quirks, especially that the editor to type the SMS on your PC is buggy.

that you have to pay for it then you get a seriel number which unlock the program
not all programs for pda are free

of cause like pc programs one can often get hold of commercial programs without paying but it's illegal :P

here is the link to the review of the tool and you can download a trial version

nop sorry

nor would i advise you to ask too much about such things in the forum
because i think that the mods can be held responsible for warez in forums
which may mean that they delete this thread or ban you or something

maybe you can find some evil opposite of elvis who knows who knows :P

There is a way to do this with a free software. Download & install the free Remote Display Control application from MS. You can find it at :

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/default.mspx

This application is similar to PcAnywhere. You see your XDA screen on your PC while the XDA is connected to your PC via ActiveSync. Simply navigate to your SMS Inbox and create and send the message. Presto!

Hope this helps.

This is a great tip and thanks for posting it but $9.99 isn't a bad price for such a Cool program. 8)

Qman, thanks. I must admit having seen this posted somewhere earlier on so much as I'd like to I can't claim credit for the idea!

I agree with you in the price of CoolSMS being reasonable at $9.99, especially if it allows one to compose SMS while the XDA is not yet connected to ActiveSync to be sent at the next ActiveSync. This is one thing you can't do with the solution I posted.
