How to send an SMS from a computer
No software, no SIM card: a browser is enough.
Sending an SMS from a computer needs no desktop app, no tethered phone and no SIM card. The form is an ordinary web page: it works on Windows, macOS and Linux, in Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge, and the message leaves from our gateway rather than from your machine.
The steps
- 1
Open the site in your browser
Any modern browser will do. No extension and no special permission is required, and nothing is installed on your computer.
- 2
Fill in the number and the message
A physical keyboard makes typing easier than on a phone, which helps when you are fitting a readable message into 160 characters.
- 3
Let the countdown run
The 60-second safety delay applies exactly as it does on mobile. Use it to reread your message.
- 4
Confirm from the computer
The send is handled by our gateway: your computer needs no telephony hardware, only an internet connection.
Worth knowing
- •On a wide screen, paste the number from your address book to avoid typing mistakes.
- •Beware of pasting from a word processor: curly quotes and em dashes are converted before sending.
- •The site works just as well on a tablet as on a desktop computer.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install software on the computer?+
No. Everything happens in the browser: there is nothing to download and no extension to add.
Does my computer have to be connected to a phone?+
No. The message is carried by our SMS gateway, not by a phone of your own.
