DesktopSMS offers three distinct licensing options tailored to diverse user needs: Free, Personal, and Professional. The Free license is intended for evaluation purposes, providing limited message length, recipient count, and message queue size. It allows users to assess basic functionality before deciding on a more suitable plan. The Personal license offers unrestricted message length and recipient limits, ideal for individual users and small businesses.
DesktopSMS Free allows users to evaluate the app's functionality without cost and for an unlimited period. This enables users to confirm compatibility with their Android devices, test different connection types, and determine if the app meets their needs. However, the Free version includes limitations such as a maximum message length of 80 characters per message and a maximum of 10 recipients per message. Additionally, the message queue is restricted to a maximum of 10 pending messages; any additional messages will be rejected until space becomes available. Upgrading from DesktopSMS Free removes these restrictions and unlocks the full potential of the app.
DesktopSMS supports a wide range of connection types that can be used to connect DesktopSMS Client and DesktopSMS Lite remote devices. Wireless connections such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth are the most common and well known, but it is also possible to connect over USB cable or even over wired LAN network using USB-C Ethernet adapter (if supported by your Android device). All of the connections are easy to set up, but some of them, such as USB connection, require additional setup on remote Android devices. In this article, we will discuss all supported connection types, their pros, cons, and all the required steps to set them properly up.
