Send a Text Message

To send a message via Outlook:

  • On the main Outlook menu (under the Home tab), click on the "New Items" icon.
  • Click on "Text Message (SMS)".

If "Text Message" has not appeared on this menu list, close down Outlook fully by clicking "File" and "Exit". In some cases the computer may need to be re-started before "Text Message" appears.

  • In the "To" field, input the recipient's mobile phone number in international format. eg: 18588123169 (for a USA number) & 442079692712 (for a UK number). Do NOT include a + sign before the number.
  • Or select recipients from your Outlook Address Book. You can send up to 10 recipients per message.
  • After you have typed your message, Click Send.
