Signatures

Automatically identify that the text message is from you at the start of every message.

Why is this smart to do?

• The recipients of text messages from computers will see those messages arrive from unfamiliar phone numbers.
• This is because computers are not assigned individual phone numbers.
• But the automatic "signature" feature enables you to be sure all your messages start by identifying you as the sender.
• On the main Outlook menu click the File tab.
• Select "Options" (a new window will appear).
• Click on the "Mail” tab.
• Click on the "Signatures" button.
• On the E-mail Signature tab create the signature id for your text messages
• Click on the "New" tab, and in the pop-up box that appears create a name for your text message signature (e.g. "TXT ID") and click "OK" to close the pop-up.
• In the box underneath "Edit signature", type the signature you wish to appear (e.g. "From:" and your email address or your name and "via pc").
• Click "Save"

• In the box next to "E-mail account", click the arrow tab and you will then see your Messenger Text messaging /Outlook Mobile Service account. Click to select it.
• In the box next to "New Messages", click the arrow tab and you will then see the name you gave to your text message signature option. Click to select it.
• Click "OK" to save and activate your text message signature selection.
• When you open your text message window it will now automatically have your identifier:
