texSMS™ - Send SMS messages from MS Outlook

texSMS™ is highly configurable and can use CSV, Excel and text files, or distribution lists as data sources. Replies to SMSs are also supported and delivered back to your email inbox (or optionally forwarded onto your own cell phone), giving you full multidirectional SMS interaction from your desktop. texSMS™ works equally well for personal, business, bulk or corporate use and does not require any hardware, or any configuration of your email systems.

texSMS™ - SMS software architecture

The texSMS™ "client" is a small software program (<1Mb in size) that can be installed on your computer by simply following a few easy prompts. Once the program is installed, it will automatically create a "New SMS" button and a "texSMS™" menu in Outlook, for easy access.
