Text Messages :: Send SMS from Mobile Phone

You can use your iPiPi.com account to originate text messages to your friends or groups of friends directly from your SMS phone.

Step 1 (in your ipipi.com account): Register your phone.

Step 2 (in your ipipi.com account): Create entries for all your friends' mobile numbers in your Address Book with short nicknames.

Step 3 (from your phone): Send your message TO the gateway number.

Step 4 (from your phone): Start your message with the s code text, explained below.

s	ipipi SMS command This tells ipipi to send an "SMS"
code	This can be either a nickname or a mobile phone number in international format. Nicknames come from your Address Book as an individual or group. This tells ipipi where to send the message TO
text	your message

For example, Paul has an important business meeting, and the customer is early. He wants to tell the rest of the sales group.

This is how he sends his message:

"s SD We have a customer waiting at the reception. Please come in."

When this message is sent to the gateway number, all members of the group sales department (SD) will receive this message.

How does it work? ipipi.com, in this process, works as a relay. It gets the message from you and immediately locates your account (from looking at your phone number). It then reads the first two parts and sees that you want to send a message and connects to your address book to send it to the nickname.

Remember, you need have credits in your account to send SMS from your mobile phone.

Note: sending SMS from your phone counts as an additional transaction subject to a cost of one credit.
