With Nokia PC Phone, you have the chance to power and control your phone from across the room or even across the country. This unique program lets you synchronize your Nokia phone to your computer and use your computer to do everything you would usually do with your smartphone. Though it only works on certain Nokia phones, it gives you the freedom to send text messages and do other tasks when you do not have your phone sitting beside you. This is great program for those who leave their phones charging in another room.

How many times have you heard that telltale beep or jingle that indicates a text message while sitting in another room? With this program, you no longer need to get up and find you phone. You can check your messages through the program, read new text messages and respond to messages. The program gives you a limit on how many characters you can use, but most users find it is the same limit they have on their phones. Those messages will look like you sent each one from your phone but the messages come directly from your computer.

Another great feature is that it gives you full access to your contact list. What happens if you need to call a coworker or someone else and you do not have their number on hand? Many people today keep track of numbers on their phones without memorizing those numbers. Even if your phone is completely dead, you can still get in touch with your loved ones, coworkers and other contacts. If your phone is on and in working condition, the program will even alert you when you have an incoming call. It shows you the name and number of the person calling, which lets you decide if you want to find your phone and answer.

Connecting to your phone is incredibly easy. All you need is a computer, a USB cord and your Nokia phone. Plug the cord into the phone, plug the other end into your computer and open the program. Nokia PC Phone will launched its Connected Wizard, which walks you systematically through the process. Within a few minutes of plugging in your phone, you can start using your phone on your computer.

Nokia PC Phone turns your computer into a cell phone. If you have a microphone, you can answer calls and talk to loved ones. Even if you do not have a microphone, you can view and respond to text messages. With this program, you may never use your phone at home again.
