    Well, its very easy to use, once you installed it in your computer, launch Microsoft Outlook. A new toolbar, Microsoft Office Outlook SMS Add-in, will be displayed.

    On the Microsoft Office Outlook SMS Add-in toolbar, set your Options.
    To send a message, select the New SMS Message button. A dialog will display the following fields:

    Mobile phone number - Enter the contact name or phone number of the person you are sending SMS text messages. You can use Microsoft Outlook Contacts that have mobile telephone numbers in the Mobile Phone field of your Contacts' records.
    SMS text - Enter your SMS message text.

    To send the message, connect your GSM mobile phone to your PC and then press the Send button. If you do not wish to send the SMS message immediately, you can save it as a draft.

    Remember, Microsoft Outlook SMS Add-in does not support non-PDU standard GSM phones. Check with your manufacturer for details about PDU.

    Nice but, it looks like we have to install the modem drivers for our respective devices in order for the phone to appear on the list, as implied by the "modems" button because i am stuck in the "Options >> Select Mobile Phone" and my wizard does not show up even though I have it connected via USB and Active Sync.

    Won't work for PPCs, this is useful for regular mobile phones not Windows Mobile powered.
