Sending free SMS from a website

Printer-friendly version
Note: Thank you for your interest in this post. This website doesn't offer free SMS services, but there are many links in the comments to various services. Feel free to add your own suggestion in the comments to other services.

My sister is visiting from Italy. She was trying to send an SMS back home, but apparently you have to know the SIM card number of the phone you are trying to reach, as well as the phone number -- this is on the Vodafone network.

So, I did some quick searching to see if there were some web-based services that allowed this. The two I found that (sort of) worked were Send SMS Now and ipipi. Send SMS now doesn't require an account, but it also doesn't seem to work -- we tested by trying to send to my phone here, and nothing ever arrived. Send SMS Now has an account-based system which requires an email address and sign-up. It also provides free email services and in general works quite while. However, the "free" part is exaggerated: we sent (and received) an SMS message to my phone, but you only get 2 credits for free. You then need to pre-pay your account to get more credits.

With all these difficulties and walled garden type approaches, I'm still convinced that pure IM/email will actually leapfrog SMS here in North America.

By the way, this will be my last post for a while: I'm off getting married and won't be back in action until August 9th.

How Could you forget !!

hey everyone , i have been using TEZSMS for quite a time now and i guess i got the best so far, http://www.tezsms.com ( the link ) , i have been using this service for past 2 years and i think these were the guys who boosted free sms concept when there was no one giving unlimited free sms. Besides providing paid bulk sms they also give free group sms to their registered users.

I would suggest you all to try out their services then tell me how correct i am.

I use.....

I use clickatell.com to send mass sms's to lists i run for flashmobs and event promotion. About 5-8 cents per message, but they have a really good api and it just works.

 

It's a little bit of a bitch to get money setup with them though....so prepare in advance, then get a rep to auto-authorize your account.

pswin floats my boat

What a wild thread! So for my $.02 worth (euro, if only I knew the key-combo), I throw the ring at pswin.com which at less than a dime a pop ain't free, but so far that's been the best real deal, and *much* cheaper than actually calling the damn mobiles, in Europe anyway. I figure I can say what I want to say for less than a dime via sms, and if the other party, who forces me onto their expensive network in the first place, wants to contact me, they can pay whatever they feel its worth. Pfffft!

That said, I've seen recent ads for even cheaper sms, but my ad retention is low. Still, I'm willing to pay for an actual web interface/ keyboard combo. I'm not willing to pay to call those damn pricey little phones. hrrmmmph.

 oh, one nice thing about pswin.com, I can enter whatever i want (subject to non-abuse terms, natch), into the 'sender's address/number field. I can actually write my name, as opposed to my cell number, which I might prefer not to.
