Telstra Online Text Buddy is a quick and easy way to send text messages -
from the comfort of your desktop computer.

This is especially handy when you're at work, left your phone at home or
have a flat battery. Or maybe you can just type faster on a full size
keyboard?

Whatever the need, Telstra Online Text Buddy is a simple and convenient way
to send text messages from your desktop computer.

Hmmm, it might be a firewall problem or something.  I suppose you could:

...I find it hard to  believe Telstra makes you download an application to
enable this relatively simple kind of service.  Most other servers just
provide a web interface.

Mind you - I wouldn't use a service that calls itself a "buddy" anyway.

You can still use their web based service if you don't want to download this
software.

Judging from the error message that was posted earlier - certificate based
authentication.

More convenient than the web based system.

Downloading 8.14Mb of software, then installing on a box you might not
have privileges to do so, or isn't win32, just to send an SMS, is more
convenient than a quick web-based interface?

You sir, are a f.cking moron. Although we already knew that.

zero chance of that, i'm afraid. nobody could have the stamina!

unless, of course, "deonne chuck" is one of rod's pseudonyms that's
got out of control.

I think it is more convenient. You can set it to auto-start & auto login. It
minimises in the system tray and it's immediately available with one mouse
click. I would say that most people that try both Text Buddy & Webnotes,
will prefer to use Text Buddy.

where is the web based service? I couldn't find it anywhere, the only

Didn't know that this existed. I downloaded the program. It was very easy to
install. Works like a charm.

This is exactly what I have been wanting.
Thanks for the tip.
