Martin963 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Some years ago I used to be able to send SMS texts to UK mobile phones by going to a website (to which I had paid I think £5 for six months) and typing the message and mobile number into an onscreen box. Very useful when in France...Does any organisation still offer this sort of facility?Recommnedations much appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 We use Skype for that Martin - you can buy a few euros of Skype credit and away you go - very easy.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosub Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I think that recently the money saving expert UK bod had something to say on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjlaws Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Both Orange and AOL offer the service from the main email/message page. I'm sure other service providers do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmt Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 A bit late to the party again ...At least one of the Betamax VoIP providers offers free SMS at any given time, but which one needs to be checked regularly.This comparison site may be useful.At the moment, free SMS is available from <www.smslisto.com> on a one-off basis. They were free (to the UK and many other European and N. American numbers) to subscribers until recently, so I'll be changing provider when my credit balance has gone.
