2. You can specify the recipient in 2 ways: by typing in the number in the To: field or by selecting a recipient from the Outlook address book. In the latter case you have to ensure that the recipient has a mobile number in the mobile field before you click on the To: button. To supply a mobile number for a contact

a. Locate the contacts list (contacts node) and double-click on a recipient.

b. Key in the GSM mobile number in the mobile field (just below business fax). Click on Save and Close to save the mobile number.

NOTE: If you are using an SMS web service, ensure that you enter the mobile number in international format, i.e add the country code in front of the number. For example +35699407512.

3. Select recipients by clicking on the To... and click OK.

NOTE: The contact will not show up, if you have not entered either an email address OR a fax number; therefore you have to enter an email address or fax number for each contact.

4. When you are ready, click on the Send button. FAXmaker will now send the SMS. Soon after you will receive a transmission report in your inbox including information on whether the SMS was sent successfully or not.
