Check and Send SMS anywhere–Singapore Telco should have done this ions ago!
filed in Uncategorized on Sep.17, 2011
I am not sure about you guys but I do find it pointless that we used to
- received an sms
- flipped open our hand phone to check
- achingly type on our T9 keypad to return the phone message
Why can’t we check our SMS on the desktop? Why can’t we check our SMS through a web portal, received a notification like how we did on a facebook portal.
Well finally, AT&T came up with such a solution at the end of a period where the SMS is going extinct due to data messaging applications
To celebrate the opening of their new AT&T Foundry in Palo Alto, AT&T is talking about some of the ambitious projects that they and their partner developers have been cooking up. One of the most interesting so far is AT&T Messages, which attempts to make all of your messages, voicemails, and call logs accessible from multiple devices.
Their cloud communications concept sounds quite a bit like the messaging half of Google Voice, but AT&T Messages has a few distinct advantages. One big one is the fact that it integrates with your existing AT&T phone number without any extra legwork. Any message sent to an existing AT&T number gets pushed into the cloud, where it’s viewable from any other compatible device.
Another thing: while Google Voice does an excellent job of making text messages and voicemails viewable on nearly anything with a web connection, it simply can’t deal with MMS messages. AT&T Messages plays with multimedia messages just fine, meaning that users who bounce between devices won’t have to live without all the funny cat pictures their friends send them.
