Messages from Excel

[adamsm]

Hi,

Can Excel send messages to mobile phones? Is there any application for this purpose?

Thanks in advance.

after a quick search in google, what i get is it's no different than sending an e-mail.

email to:
your_phone_number@phone_provider_sms_mail_address

Do we have to buy that application or install it?

the link is for getting the tel.com.s' sms email addresses.

try sending email via excel to your mobile number as shown in the link

Look for your provider from this list.

the use your cell number and carrier email domain.

It works for me.

I am not sure that you understand. Use what was posted to find the syntax for the email address. Then use a routine to do the email. Since we don't know what email program you use, we can not suggest any code.

Some methods are Mailto:, CDO, Lotus Notes Object, MicroSoft Outlook object, Thunderbird, and on and on...

CDO works for some. See: http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm
