A brand new version of Skype is out. How can I send SMS with Skype?
Thomas has used Skype to send his private SMS messages for a long time. But, then during spring 2018, a new version of Skype was released which had no support for this. It could be done, but it was very advanced and he first had to call the number, cancel the call, and only then he could send an SMS to the recipient.
But, a new version of Skype was released in the start of October 2018, and in this, it was much easier to send SMS. But, how can it be done?
This is how Thomas sends his SMS messages with Skype
Thomas first opens the Skype application, and he clicks the “Use Dialpad” button. Take a look at the screenshot beneath to see which button that is.
You can use the voice call button, but it is much better to use the dialpad, next to the search skype field. Once you have clicked the dialpad, enter the number to which you want to send the SMS.
When you have typed the number, click the SEND SMS button in the lower left corner of the screen. Take a look at the image above to see which button it is.
Once you have clicked the Send SMS logo, you can start typing the message, and once you are ready to send, click enter.
You have now sent an SMS with Skype. Do not forget that you need to add Skype credit to your account in order to send SMS’s with Skype.
Thomas is happy because he doesn’t like typing SMS’s on his cell phone because it takes so much time. That is the reason why he rather writes messages with Skype, and that is why he is very happy right now.
Has Thomas been able to help you out as well? Please write a comment and let Thomas know!
