Hi François,

That's right. I own a Siemens Gigaset C100 with which I can send and
receive SMS.
It's a just a wireless home-phone.
I don't konw if SMS Mac could do that... ?

Best,
Philippe

Hi all,

I know there are now home/ground phones (I mean non-mobiles, I don't
know how to call them...) that can receive SMS. Specially the new
Siemens DECT Gigaset phones, for example.
It would be great to give the possibility to send SMS to all kind of
phones, and not only to cell phones.
Would that be feasible ?

francois

Thanks for the information.
I understand your point.

I have another question, but I'll open a new discussion for that.

Francois

>is smsmac truly anonymous ?

No. Please look at the preferences (click the Configure button).

The feature called caller ID explicitly allows you to set your
identity, i.e. your mobile phone number.

You can also enter an alphanumeric string here, or you can
send an SMS without caller ID (anonymous).

>I mean, can the receiver find back the name of the sender of an SMS
>sent with smsmac ?

If you specify the caller ID and set it to your name or your
mobile number: yes.

>I am afraid people (specially phone marketers) could use smsmac

No, this is not possible, because we sell bundles of 100 SMS each
and we have procedures in place to not sell an amount of bundles
that would amount to SPAM.

BTW: each SMS costs really money to the sender and it is not at
all free. Another inhibitor to SPAM. Plus the fact we have the
identity of each and every subscriber of SMS Mac.

Email SPAMmers only get away with it, because they hide their
identity.

Hi everybody,

here is my question for the developpers :

is smsmac truly anonymous ? I mean, can the receiver find back the name
of the sender of an SMS sent with smsmac ?
I am afraid people (specially phone marketers) could use smsmac to send
anonymous commercial sms.
Thanks for your answer.

No. We are trying to get the cost per SMS down and the way we are
trying that is using another gateway for the expensive countries. As it
happens the expensive countries are: France, German, Spain and Italy.

Please send us your mobile number when you are in one of these
countries and would not mind receiving a test SMS.

Hello to all,

Quick shout out to the developers: thank you, thank you, thank you. SMS Mac
works awesome. It is the first time I'm able to send SMS to my girlfriend in
Spain (Vodaphone) and it's all thanks to you.

On the question side, can I set it up so she can answer back somehow?

Thanks again,

Franco

Yes, when you set the caller ID to a text string (alphanumeric
caller ID), the recipient cannot automatically reply to the SMS
anymore. This is because the originator's mobile number was
replaced by the alphanumeric value.

I'll add a warning or alert to the program to make this more clear.

Hi all,

I like very much the "Flash SMS".
I suppose that it's the same word in the english version ;-)

Is it possible to do the same with my mobile (Sonyericsson P900)?
or other mobile ?

thank you

patrice
Your soft is top !

I sent a few messages with a text string entered in the Caller ID
box. A few pals replied to my sent messages but I never received
them. Just wondered where these messages would have ended up?

I have now entered my mobile number and all is now working.

Thanks for creating a really cool bit of software. Look forward to
having a Dashboard widget later this year.

Cheers,
Satchman

Hi, Alco!

You already know you can use my number.

I'm sure Kris would be happy to help you, but unfortunately, he doesn't
have a Mac. Does that matter? His number is +16303344314 and he uses
Verizon.

My Amy also uses Verizon. Her number is +16512498423 and she has a Mac,
of course!

Phyllis
ps - I will tell both of them that I gave you this info.

Hi, Alco, contratulations for your award!

Will it be possible to test the widget for those of us with an ADC
Membership and Tiger seedings?

Yes, you are right of course, but I'll explain.

I could, in principle, make the widget available and I'll give it
some thought today.

However, I am currently totally rewriting it, because we want to
change the user interface. I have the feeling it is better for the
users to start with the new revised version. Unfortunately, that
one is not finished yet.

That's right. Philippe Gruchet did the French translation and we want to
