Web-based Texting Tool - Make the most of your SMS flatrate!

Using a PC and typing on a regular keyboard really speeds up texting.

WebSMSTool is a nice but simple application that allows user to send short messages (a.k.a. SMS) from an Android-Mobile using various web-browsers. The app focuses on being simple to use but also provides fundamental settings like HTTP/HTTPS, password protection and defining port number. The Web interface provides a very comfortable way for texting. Technologies like HTML5, DHTML and JavaScript? (AJAX) are heavily used to achieve that goal.
