How to send SMS from a computer to a phone via the Internet
At any time, you may encounter a situation where you urgently need to send an SMS message from your computer. Fortunately, telecom operators and third-party software developers have provided for this possibility. Let's analyze all the most popular ways to send SMS from PC to phone and draw conclusions about the convenience of each of them.
Through the operator's website
The easiest and most reliable way to send SMS via the Internet can be called the use of an official specialized service from a telecom operator. Almost any well-known operator allows any of its clients to use this function.
Let's take a closer look at messaging services from MTS, Beeline, TELE2, Megafon and Kyivstar.
MTS
MTS is one of the most popular companies providing mobile communication services in Russia. To use the service for sending SMS on the official website of MTS, the user does not need to have a ready account, however, it is still necessary to have a phone with a SIM card from MTS at hand.
To send a message from the MTS website, you must:
- Follow the link to the mobile operator's website. A window should appear in front of the user with a choice of the type of message to be sent - SMS or MMS.
- In this field, you must enter the phone numbers of the sender and recipient, as well as the text of the SMS message itself. The size must not exceed 140 characters. After entering the captcha and clicking on the "Next" button, an SMS with a confirmation code will be sent to the sender's number.
- We are waiting for the confirmation code to be sent to the specified sender number. The message will contain an alert that someone is trying to send free SMS from the MTS website.
- It remains only to insert the received code into the appropriate field and click on "Next". The message will be sent to the recipient.
Sending SMS from the site is absolutely free. The procedure for sending MMS is almost the same.
In addition to the free online service, MTS offers its customers to use the program for sending messages installed on a PC, however, when using it, SMS messages will be charged according to the sender's tariff plan.
Megaphone
MegaFon is also one of the largest players in the telecommunications services market in the Russian Federation. It does not require a personal account to send SMS messages through the site, but you will still need a SIM card with a phone.

To send SMS through the Megafon website, you must do the following:
- We go to the site using the link - a window should open with fields for entering numbers and text.
- Enter the sender's number (a code will be sent to it), the recipient's number and the text of the SMS message. Click on "Submit".
- Enter the received code in the field that appears and confirm the sending. As in the case of MTS, sending SMS messages from the Megafon website is absolutely free.
Unlike MTS, Megafon has not implemented the function of sending free MMS messages, but this does not in the least prevent you from using a simple and convenient online service.
Beeline
Beeline took into account the shortcomings of competitors' services and provided, perhaps, the most convenient online SMS exchange service - the user does not need to have a phone with a SIM card at hand, which greatly facilitates the situation (especially when you have to use the site precisely because the phone is not working). However, only a Beeline subscriber can be an SMS addressee.
To use the service from Beeline, you need:
- Follow the link to open the sending service.
- Enter the recipient's number and text, then indicate the code from the picture and click on the "Send SMS" button.
- No additional confirmation in the form of a code is required - the message will be sent immediately and absolutely free.
As you can see, the service from Beeline is extremely easy to use and can really help out in an emergency.
TELE2
The service from TELE2 is an absolute analogue of the service from Beeline. There is only one clear difference - only one SMS message can be sent from one computer.
To send SMS via the TELE2 website, you need:
- Open address to go to the shipping page.
- Enter the recipient's number (only TELE2 subscriber), paste the text of the message and click on "Send".
- SMS will be sent immediately - no confirmation codes and no captchas or codes from pictures are required.
Let's move on to considering the capabilities of the last operator, the country of location of which is Ukraine.
Kyivstar
The service for sending SMS from Kyivstar also differs little from the analogues described above. Its feature is the ability to send 5 free messages per day. Their size should not exceed 120 characters in Latin or 70 characters in Cyrillic.

The online service is really extremely convenient to use and provides a much wider range of opportunities than the sites of individual operators.
