Hi Guys

Can't say I seen this posted anywhere and I thought you may all be interested:

An add-on For MS Outlook that sends SMS messages!

Fantastic!

Looks great, but beware. Before you can try this, your Orange phone has to be on a Business Account. Now if you are like me and look after I T, then you sometimes want to try things out. My company's mobiles are currently on O2, so I thought I'd try this out on my own Orange Smartphone.

So, follow the site and step 1, download the Outlook add-in and install.

Step 2, ring 345 to get your account login and password that they will give you for this.

Step 3. Speak to nice man from O who tells you that you can't try it unless you are a Business and have a business account.

Step 4. Explain to nice man from O that you are trying to experiment with the intention of possibly migrating to Orange for your 50+ mobile phones and you want to see it in action.

Step 5. Go to Step 3.

So now, after pressint Ctrl/C in the step3-5 loop and breaking out,

Step 6. Uninstall add-in.

Moral.

Read EVERYTHING about an O package before leaping ahead.

Assume the worst.

But for businesses, it actually looks like a very decent package that would come into its own in a Business Continuity exercise.
