Microsoft supports the OMS (Outlook Mobile Service/Office Mobile Service) with the delivery of Office 2013 only in SharePoint. Within Outlook 2013, the OMS will not be continued, what we regret very much.
If you use the Outlook Mobile Service as part of your workflow, we advise you to take an update to Outlook 2013 into careful consideration.
With Email to SMS via the SMTP interface, ASPSMS provides an adequate alternative for most applications.
Outlook Mobile Service
What can the Outlook Mobile Service do?
Outlook Mobile Service is a new feature in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 that you use to create and send text messages to a mobile device. From within Outlook you send text messages in a manner similar to e-mail messages.
By using Outlook Mobile Service, you can send a message both as an e-mail message and as a mobile message to multiple contacts at the same time. You can stay informed when you are away from the office because Outlook Mobile Service can forward favoured e-mail messages and calendar appointments directly to your mobile phone.Outlook Mobile Service works with ASPSMS to provide you with a seamless communication experience. After you send your mobile message from your computer, it goes to the ASPSMS Web service for Outlook Mobile Service and is then sent to the mobile phones that you choose.
