CardBoardFish offers a range of great value services for non-business use that allow you to easily text message your friends & family from your desktop, on Windows, Linux, Unix and Apple Mac OS X:
- Send messages from your Windows desktop to mobile phones around the world. Benefit from the ease and speed of typing SMS messages of up to 459 characters on your computer keyboard.
- Receive delivery confirmations and replies all in one straightforward application.
- Available on all operating systems supporting Java Version 6, Java Desktop SMS has all the great features of the Windows Desktop SMS application, but does not include a browser toolbar.
- Put text messaging directly onto your OS X dashboard.
- This widget means that you're never more than a click or a gesture away from exchanging text messages with the world.
All of the applications above allow you to send SMS messages to over 200 countries and receive delivery reports back. In addition, you can verify your own mobile number so that replies to your messages come back to your mobile phone. Also included is a phonebook, sent message history, and an inbox so that you can receive SMS messages without the need for a mobile phone - just buy a Virtual Number in your account and start receiving texts on your PC.
These applications are free to download but you must pay for the SMS messages you send. UK users can add credit by premium rate text message, otherwise a credit or debit card is required. Our free web-based SMS service to the UK is available here.
