Outlook Mobile Service
What can the Outlook Mobile Service do?
Outlook Mobile Service is a new feature in Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 that you use to create and send text messages to a mobile device. From within Outlook you send text messages in a manner similar to e-mail messages.
By using Outlook Mobile Service, you can send a message both as an e-mail message and as a text message to multiple contacts at the same time. You can stay informed when you are away from the office because Outlook Mobile Service can forward favoured e-mail messages and calendar appointments directly to your mobile phone.
Outlook Mobile Service works with ASPSMS to provide you with a seamless communication experience. After you send your text message from your Outlook, it goes to the ASPSMS Web service for Outlook Mobile Service and is then sent to the mobile phones that you choose.
