Air Messenger ASCII

Air Messenger ASCII is a simplistic piece of software that aims to provide you with the means to convert simple text files to alphanumeric messages and send them to phones or pagers.

Subsequent to its installation and upon first launching the utility you are greeted by a main window with outdated looks. The interface seems more at home on pre-2000 Windows versions rather than the later ones.

Nevertheless, thanks to a compact toolbar and a menubar, you are able to work with Air Messenger ASCII quite easily. If finding your way around the utility's menu is not much of a challenge, you should know that its configuration process is not what you would call streamlined.

In other words, you are required to manually configure almost every aspect of the supported connections. This said, you should know that the app comes with support for SNPP, WCTP and ETAP protocols.

If you get stuck with the configuration process, we recommend you take a quick look at Air Messenger ASCII's comprehensive documentation.

Once the connections are set up, you can start by adding and editing users, followed by the destinations. The next logical step is to start adding groups and, finally, paging companies. Of course, the application makes it possible for you to add as many paging companies, recipients, groups as you like.

You should also be aware of the fact that the tool enables you to view all your activity thanks to a Message Delivery Log. Also useful is the app's report generator that provides you with a clear view of the situation.

Taking all things into consideration, Air Messenger ASCII is a simple utility that enables you to convert simple text files to SMS and manually send them to phones or pagers.

Unfortunately, the application is let down by its outdated interface and its somewhat complicated workflow. This is exactly the kind of utility that would benefit greatly from a smart wizard configuration process.
