Step 1) Install DeskSMS on your *phone*.

Step 3) Have a friend send you an SMS, and respond from your desktop PC or tablet!

What’s in this version:

1. 1106: UI and crash fixes for ICS.
2. 1105: Fix the url of the debugging server used to track down bugs.
3. 1104: Remove “Merge DeskSMS Contacts”. This was too messy. Will be adding a web interface tool to manage desksms contacts.
4. 1104: Add a blacklist feature to prevent certain numbers from being forwarded.
5. 1102: Registering now sends a register email with more info.
6. 1101: Clear the outbox upon sending a message to prevent useless push notifications.
7. 1101: Add more options for the timestamp adjust.

Some words from users who love this free android app:

Does everything it says it will and does it very well. If only it had an app for Mac to accompany it instead of the already great Chrome extension for texting when not using the browser, it would be amazing!

I absolutely love having this application on my phone. It integrates perfectly with my IM app using google talk.

This android tool app is popular, it got 4.4 stars average, rated by 1,518 players and totally installed about 500,000 times!
