How does Microsoft Outlook SMS Add-in work?

Microsoft Outlook SMS add-in uses the built in modem of your Phone to send SMS messages via Bluetooth, Infrared, USB and Serial interfaces. To be able to send SMS using this add-in your phone should have a modem that can be interfaced by any of the supported connectivity options available.

Things you can do with Outlook SMS add-in:

  • Manage SMS messages just like emails, Save drafts, Sent items, Print.
  • Forward as email and SMS
  • Lookup and resolve phone numbers to your existing Microsoft Outlook contacts.
  • Use speller and proofing tools.
  • Cut and paste text from other applications

I was able to successfully send SMS messages from Outlook but it initially it refused to detect my Nokia 6630′s modem. But after trying for two or three times it detected the phone and I was able to send SMS message. I could not try this with Outlook 2003, if any of you try then let me know your feedback.
