How to Send SMS Text Messages to a Mobile Cell Phone with Microsoft Access VBA. Also Works in Excel.

In this video, I will show you how to use Microsoft Outlook and an Email-to-SMS gateway address to send text messages from Microsoft Access.

Cameron from Olympia, Washington (a Gold Member) asks: I run a service business. I'd like the ability to be able to send SMS text messages to my customers to remind them of an upcoming appointment, or to let them know their technician is on the way. So many people don't check email regularly, but everyone carries their cell phones nowdays. Can this be done from my Access database?

Silver Members and up get access to an Extended Cut of this video. Members will learn how to send SMS text messages without using an email gateway. We will set up a free trial account on Twilio and use their API to send messages. This way, we avoid having to know the customer's cell carrier too.

Good day. Your videos really have helped me a lot and i believe it also helps so many small businesses to start up and build their own database. In the asian region (I'm from Malaysia), the most widely used communication app is WhatsApp. Could u show how i can send text, call or send pdf invoice/receipt files to the whatsapp app of our customers from our databae?

For the email option, will this work if I don't have a direct contract with a specific carrier, eg I use Google Fi that dynamically switches amongst multiple carriers
