1. Sending Text Messages from Outlook
After
you have configured an SMS account in Outlook, you can use it to send
text messages from Outlook. The process is as simple as sending an
e-mail, although a bit different.
In Outlook, click the Mail icon.
Click New Items and choose Text Message (SMS).
Choose the recipient from the Address Book.
Type the text for the message.
Click Send to send the message.
2. Sending Mobile Alerts from Outlook
You
don’t need an Exchange Server account to send mobile alerts, such as
calendar reminders, to forward e-mail messages to your mobile device. If
you have added an Outlook Mobile Service account to your profile, you
can configure Outlook to send alerts and forward messages. However,
Outlook must be running and have an Internet connection available for
you to use these features.
