Use Quicksilver to send SMS messages

alternatively one could use iChat for the same thing. Select someone's mobile phone number and then IM that number (has to have +1 to work). you can even keep track of your conversation that way.

Thanks Mr Fuelleman, that was a minute of my life wasted reading your linked page. This Quicksilver tip refers to sending an _email_ which will arrive as an SMS. Your product is simply a way to type an SMS on your Mac before sending it from your cellphone. Not the same thing at all.

Hello,

use the Address Book phone plugins here:

They work in all countries ;-)

Thanks,

Works for me.

Has anyone got this to work in the UK yet? Please reply if you have and how you did as well. Cheers

If you don't know who the person's cell phone company is, you can use teleflip. Just put the full phone number without any punctuation in front of @teleflip.com I use it all the time with Quicksilver.

The USA has a rather odd mobile phone system compared to the rest of the world, like here in Australia only a couple of phone companies provide this. It costs the receiver 30 cents per message, so they of course have to enable the feature first, one most aren't aware even exists.

Hey that was my submission on MacOSXHints... Cool. I finally made it on the best webpage one earth...hah
