Sending an SMS

To send an SMS from your e-mail client:

1. Create a new mail message and enter the text to SMS. An SMS message can contain a maximum of 160 characters - if you enter more characters the text will be truncated on multiple SMS messages.

I Note: Remove your email signature! Otherwise the email signature will be included with your SMS message!

2. Now enter the recipient of the SMS message in the To: field, using SMTP addressing in the following format: number@smsmaker.com. e.g: 234123918@smsmaker.com

I This method of addressing requires that your mail server has been configured to forward all mails sent to smsmaker.com to the GFI FAXmaker fax server. The procedure to do this has been described for Lotus Notes and for Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 and is similar for all other mail servers.
