Quick Links to your Free WebTexts.

This is something we set-up for a client a few years ago, but its proved useful to us and to other clients, we hope some of you may like it too.

We all have our Mobile contracts or even Pre-Pay accounts with hundreds of free Webtexts just sitting there waiting to be used up. So why not make it easier and quicker for you or your staff to fire off Text messages to your clients or colleagues with a single short-cut that can take you directly to the 'Compose New Message' window.

You might think a short-cut to this a bit frivolous, 'Surely I can just bookmark my provider's homepage'. But add up the amount of time you spend loading their home page full of Flash animations, finding the login option (even if it does remember your user-name) and after clicking through a few links you get the new message page up on screen, now do that 20 more times during the course of the next hour, sick of it yet? Or, do you have multiple numbers that you would like to text from? Instantly login to any one of them through a single short-cut or Bookmark.

For a short-cut on your Desktop, right mouse click on the desktop, select New and Shortcut... In your browser, add a new Favorite or Bookmark. Copy & Paste the sample Vodafone Link shown below into the field for the Short-cut or Path or Address. 
(If you want to know more about adding Bookmarks/Favorites: click the following links: Chrome Internet Explorer, FireFox ).

Change the number 0871234567 to your mobile number, and abcd to your password.

If you have more than one account, create a second short-cut/Bookmark, paste in the link and modify it for the next phone number and password. Be sure to label it.

Now when you want to quickly send a message out to clients/colleagues using your Free Webtexts, just click whichever short-cut you want to use, the Compose Text message window will be displayed without any prompting, clicking or logging in. If you are using multiple numbers switching between accounts is as easy as clicking the other short-cut.

Just remember, your Login password is visible in the short-cut for anyone to see if they edit the link. But it's better than a sticky note on the side of the monitor for all to see.
