Macworld, January 2009 shows how to use SMS Mac to keep on track with digital reminders.

SMS text messaging on the Macintosh

How do you send an SMS? Are you using the T9 input method? Are you also wondering why you are using these small keys with numbers on it to enter text while you have your Mac keyboard in front of you? Then SMS Mac is for you. Use your Mac to enter SMS text and send the SMS through the Internet. You don't even need a mobile phone. SMS Mac will send the SMS for you.

SMS Mac comes in many flavors. A Dashboard Widget and an Address Book plug-in and a Yahoo! Widget. Do you need to send an SMS from a script? SMS Mac also supports AppleScript. You decide which one works best for you. Or use all of them. The Address Book plug-in works with Mac OS X 10.3 and up (including Snow Leopard). The Dashboard widget was developed especially for Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard, Apple's latest versions of Mac OS X. The Yahoo! Widget works with Windows 2000 and up.

Easily send an SMS text message from your Address Book with the SMS Mac Address Book plug-in. Just open the Address Book card of your friend or contact, click the mobile label and choose the command Send SMS from the popup menu. You can also select a group of contacts and send an SMS to all members of the group!

The Send SMS Dashboard Widget is a widget for the Dashboard of Mac OS X and has all the features of SMS Mac. Are you using Windows at work? No problem, just use the Send SMS Yahoo! Widget for Windows XP.

SMS Mac also supports AppleScript. The SMS Mac Scripting application allows you to send an SMS when a specific event occurs. You can use it, for example, with iCal. You can configure iCal and SMS Mac to send yourself an SMS to remind you of an important meeting. On a Mac OS X server, you can use it to send the system administrator an SMS alert when a certain condition occurs. Several example scripts are included.

Each SMS will cost you only $0.10 whether you're sending locally or to a foreign country. No roaming costs are involved. For the use of the software of SMS Mac, the plug-in and widget, we use a subscription model. A subscription to SMS Mac costs $10 per year. You can purchase a subscription using PayPal or eSellerate. The subscription will entitle you to free updates of the plug-in and widget during one year. The initial purchase price of $15 consists of $10 for the subscription and $5 for 50 SMS. You've used up all the 50 SMS? No problem, just recharge SMS Mac with 100 SMS for only $10. When you recharge with 500 SMS or 1000 SMS, the price per SMS will, of course, be lower.

No commercials are tagged to your message, the entire message (all 160 characters) is yours. We also offer a 30-day money back guarantee.
