kansasskydiver 0 #1 April 10, 2005 Anyone know of a site that doesn't require a bunch of signup etc etc etc to send SMS messages to cell phones? It's a pain in the ass to type them on my phone and would be nice to just be able to write and click send.<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist!

kingbunky 3 #2 April 10, 2005 dunno about where you are, but around here we can send them from the service providers website. just enter the number of the phone, your text, click send."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

JeNnEjEnN 0 #3 April 10, 2005 If you're sending them worldwide, a free & easy service to use is ICQ. It's a messenger service (like yahoo, msn, etc). Takes very little signing up... I dunno, only thing I found that sends free text messages to Australia... http://www.icq.com/------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Most SMS cell phones can send and recieve regular e-mail. For instance, if they have AT&T you use their 10 digit cell phone number and add @mobile.att.net. If they have cingular you use their cell phone number and add @mobile.mycingular.com. etc..... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting. However, when I typed in my own cell phone number the finder reported my service provider incorrectly. I changed providers over a month ago and it hasn't caught up (yet). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMS is text messaging. I get something like a 100 messages per month with my plan. It's about 98 more than I ever actually use. If your plan doesn't specify how many messages you get, you probably pay per message (sent or received), about $.05-$.10 in most cases. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know about most cellular service plans, but the 2 that I had give you 100 messages -in- for free. It was the text -out- that cost 10 cents per send-off. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #13 April 12, 2005 I normally just use the Rogers one ">Here from my desk at work. It does not care which provider the recipient is using. Just plug in the number and a quick message, works like a charm. You are limited to the number of characters and you have to input one of those "type what you see in the box" things to avoid it being captured by automated spam demons but that's no big deal.
