Combining the power of today's email applications with the ease, convenience and mobility of SMS messaging, Unique Computer Systems offers OutlookSMS & NotesSMS, two products which allow you to use the full capability of your existing contacts address book to send SMS messages to specific individuals or entire lists, as easily as sending email.

You can also have your calendar reminders automatically sent to your mobile, send broadcast SMS to large lists and even receive replies straight into your inbox from the message recipients.

When an SMS is sent to a mobile phone the recipient can simply reply to the message as they would any other SMS message. When the original sender receives the reply email in Outlook or Notes, they are then able to reply to that message as an SMS and thus continue the conversation indefinitely.

Additionally, the product allows for Calendar reminders from the messaging clients, such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, to receive reminders set in the Calendar to appear, as an SMS message, on their mobile phone. The user can mark individual calendar entries to generate an SMS or elect to have all of their calendar reminders generate an SMS.
