TeleFlip SMS Txt Messaging

T E L E F L I P™ Teleflip™ started when the founder became increasingly frustrated at his inability to send text messages to friends' cell phones from his PC. It was of course possible, but you had to know the cell phone provider, the correct domain name and the correct syntax for the email address. There had to be an easier way....Teleflip™ was born. Teleflip™ was founded in 2003 in Los Angeles, California. TELEFLIP™ A FRIEND The next time you need someone to email you directions, a recipe, sales information, or maybe just a few sweet nothings... tell them to TELEFLIP™ it, at: (yourcellphonenumber)@teleflip.com. It's easy. It's free. It's for your phone. Try Teleflip now.  click here:   Cool SMS Tricks (A shared experience by "Wes")   According to WikiPedia:  Short Message Service (SMS) is a service available on most digital mobile phones that permits the sending of short messages (also known as text messages, or more colloquially SMSes, texts or even txts) between mobile phones, other handheld devices and even landline telephones. Other uses of text messaging can be for ordering ringtones, wallpapers and entering competitions.  One thing I did awhile back was create a Yahoo Mail filter which automatically sends any mail from my wife (she doesn’t email me much) directly to my mobile phone as a SMS. When I was attending a conference a few months ago, I was sitting in a session when there was a crisis at home– and my wife sent me an email message, hoping I’d get it since I hadn’t answered my cell phone. At the time I could not take a phone call and wasn’t online, but could read a SMS message, and was able to learn what was happening so I could call back immediately. She did not actually send me a SMS message, but her email was converted to SMS by the Yahoo mail filter. This was really handy, since I would not have found out about what was going on (and it was a crisis) until much later had this SMS functionality not existed and been setup.  Instead of setting up a Yahoo mail filter like I have which sends all mail from a particular sender as a SMS message, you could create a more complex rule, also requiring some word in the subject line from particular senders. So you could tell members of your family or work team that in a crisis, if you are not answering your email, they can include a particular “code word” as an email subject and you’ll receive it as a SMS message.  This weekend I used SMS to send messages to family members and friends during a performance of “Dear Edwina” at our Lubbock Arts Festival. Again, I was not able to talk on the phone because I was in a show audience, but was able to use SMS. I also used SMS a few weeks ago to quickly get word to our family of a successful surgery that one of my kids had. I am not very adept at using the phone keypad to type messages yet, but although it seems cumbersome, I am learning that SMS communication can be very powerful and convenient.  The last trick with SMS I just learned about this weekend from a Yahoo wwwedu post by Andy Carvin regards sending email as a SMS message to anyone’s cell phone that supports SMS. Just use Teleflip: Send an email from any email client to:  (yourcellphonenumber)@teleflip.com.  Your email text message will be converted to the SMS format supported by the cell phone you are sending it to, and the person should be able to read your message. (Or at least the first part of it, since longer SMS messages are generally truncated.)  Very cool trick to know and tell.  As a heads up, Teleflip does not work with certain cellular services. Some service providers (US Cellular, for instance) block these “outside-the-network” SMS messages. Not sure why.

Instant Payment

The next time you head out to dinner with a group of friends, splitting the check can be easier than piling up big bills and then calculating change. Just text message one person in the group your money. "Turning your cellphone into a payment device is as easy as sending somebody a text message," says Ed Kountz, a senior analyst for financial services at Jupiter Research. The three services currently available — Obopay, PayPal Mobile and TextPayMe.com — all let you send and receive money via text messages. You can send cash to anyone with a mobile phone number. With each, you'll need to sign up for an account online, linking a bank account or credit card. (Worried about security? You'll create a four-digit PIN to enter every time you request a transaction.) You may pay a small fee for the service, as well as a fee to your service provider for sending or receiving data.  Obopay.com creates an account that you can fund using a linked bank account or credit card, or by mailing a check. You'll pay 10 cents to send money via phone, and nothing to receive it. The software works with all service providers and phones.  PayPal Mobile works with your existing PayPal account to send and receive money. You can use your PayPal balance, or send cash from your bank account or a credit card. Text messaging features can only be used with select carriers, but anyone can call 1-800-4PAYPAL to place a request. You can also send money to someone's email address. All transactions are free.  Textpayme.com creates a separate account that you fund using a linked bank account or credit card. Right now, sending and receiving money is free, though fees may later be imposed. For 50 cents, you can opt to receive the money in the form of a mailed check, rather than claiming it online. The service works with all service providers and phones.
