Sending SMS from Excel using iMessage

[Nicole Jones]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has has used VBA coding to send an automatic SMS from and iPad using iMessage.

I have a spreadsheet that we using to schedule our workers and would like the spreadsheet to send them an SMS rather than individually sending them myself or using an external software program. Has anyone done anything like this?

Thx for your help
Nicole

Might be of interest...
If you are US based your carrier may well provide an email to SMS conversion as part of the service.
You just send the text based 160 char email to the recipients phone_number@txt.att.net (for example) and it arrives as a text message.
