Sending free SMS from a website

Update: Thank you to the many many people that have left comments on this entry including links to other free SMS services. I've now put together a dedicated links page listing all of these services. See the list of free SMS websites here, and feel free to add your own link.

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.

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.

Send Unlimited free sms in INDIA.The most important features of this are contacts, group sms, sms report and the other feature I like about this site is that you can send sms in our own name. so that the recipient knows who has sent the msg before opening it.

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.

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.

I had subscribed to this website and purchased certain sms credits to send sms to my friends in India. It turned into nightmare and very disappointment when I came to know that none of my reciepients had recieved sms on very important festival called Diwali.

My girlfriend was waiting for wish from me as I could not call up her and I just managed to send wishes to her by SMS.

All were enjoying except me on that very important festival when I came to know that none of them received sms.

TextJump.com works pretty well for sending SMS messages via a webbrowser.

Google Toolbar SMS service seems to work well for delivering messages to recipients within the US. Only one minor detail: you must know the provider of the recipient (or mass message all cellular networks- this is what I do sometimes).

The URL for this service is: http://toolbar.google.com/send/sms/index.php

Still unsure about SMS to non-US locations... Hopefully someone finds this useful anyhow~!

have you tried just sending a text message to an email address instead? also goto vodaphone's website see if they have an option to send text from website to mobile number. (all carriers in usa have their own website with text messging features on it.

Message in a bottle? This could be a new take on that idea. Randomly SMS numbers to meet people. Or randomly SMS lines of poetry or equations or something for people to solve or respond to.
