How to send SMS from Gmail

www.gmail.com and log in with your Gmail account information.
Click on the "Compose" button in the top left-hand corner.
Type the
cellnumber@winsms.net into the To: field. You can send to multiple recipients by using a semicolon (;) as a separator.
The subject field is not required. You can leave it blank or you can use it for a message reference.
Type your SMS message in the body of the email.
The gateway will send the first 160 characters of the e-mail as the SMS message, but if you have enabled long messages under "My Profile" in the Client Zone, it will send the first 918 characters of the e-mail (taking into account the symbols that count as 2 characters.

Subject: 202211271500
