texting via a docked iphone...

rjk · 22 Feb 2011 at 21:11

hi guys. looking for a bit of advice really

pretty sick of removing my iphone [3gs if it makes any odds] from its dock to send text messages whilst at my computer. [windows pc, not a mac]
is there any way to text via my phone using my computer keyboard rather than removing the phone from the dock every time i need to text?

thanks for any replies :cool:

I'm suPrised that there isnt some sort of app that would allow you to do this... It may be worth looking on the app store to see if there is anything out there...

I'd like this too

so no well known app i wasnt aware of then?

shame.

app makers - go forth and use my idea.

i will only charge 10% comission

seen it as a feature on a friends android phone.

Possible with an iPad, but not with an iPhone.

Yep, would love something like this too. Back in the day of my old Sony Ericcson I used floats mobile agent - did everything.

Not an app but a feedback form

Perhaps it has been requested before, perhaps it hasn't

£2.99 seems a good value for what it can do by the looks of it! I might invest in this little app. Looks nifty!

myPhoneDesktop is not for SMS over bluetooth/USB that I can see?

all Myphonedesktop does is put it in the copy/paste menu and then open the sms app on the iphone, so you still have to paste and send manually on the iphone.

So in summary, there is nothing as we stand, by the looks of it.

It's an expensive option but buy your an Apple BT keyboard and pair it with your phone?

That's a solution but not a full blown solution as it's another device to be carrying around with you. I can see on a well trade site that you can buy small qwerty keyboards now for under 15 smackers.

Why would you need to carry it around? It's only going to be used when the iPhone is docked. Just like the iPad dock/keyboard that you can buy. :confused:
