Send SMS online - how it works

You can not only send SMS messages from your smartphone, but also online. We'll show you how.

Send SMS via online portals

For several years now, you have been able to send SMS messages free of charge via various online portals:

• Each provider has different guidelines and rules. Most of the time you can send 5 SMS per day completely for free. With some providers, however, you have to click on a certain advertising banner or submit a "Facebook-Like". The offers from SMSGott, Mufa and SMS-umsonst.com are completely free.
• However, the recipients of your SMS cannot reply to these providers. Of course, your friends' phone number will not appear on your friends, but that of the provider.
• If you always want to send the messages with the same number, this is usually no longer free. This is possible with premium providers such as GMX or Skype, but it is subject to a fee. The recipient can also reply to you by SMS.
• If you are using an Android smartphone, you can also send SMS on your PC using your mobile phone. Simply log in to Messages Web and you can send and receive SMS on your computer. However, not all mobile operators currently support this function.
