Anyone know if there is any way to send free sms text messages to a mobile in the uk from a pc?

All these things SAY they are free.....msn, skype, etc.......then when you get in and look...you have to buy a balance.

isnt there any way to just send it via the broadband modem that you are allready paying for the use of the incoming/outgoing data?
 
I have an account with www.o2.com

I did sign up years ago, and got about 3 million texts a day...Since then, theyve whittled it down to 10 a month (free, beyond that you pay), but it's still active.

Not sure if they still accept signups but it's worth a try :)
 
There used to be a few places (a couple of years ago) where you could send free sms that but they got abused and were withdrawn.
 
I get 10 free a month from Orange... not sure that helps though.
 
I get free texts on my mobile. just wondered if it was possible to send FROM a pc.

thanks for your help.
 
Yup, thats what mine is...online (Never had an o2 phone ;))

well im with orange broadband so how do I do it then?
 
I have a Mac Widget from which you can send free texts globally - it's very good but Mac only. It's called Callwave if any Mac users care. Did you get your sensor fixed Janice?
 
Janice I go to the Orange websit and then type in free text message into the search because it is hidden away and I can never find it!!! Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
 
Just do a google search, there are loads of places, most even allow recieving text free as well.

Yep managed to get that one to work Marcel thanks.

I'll admit it was the one Marik mentioned...even though I did find it by my super special google-wu. So I can't take all the credit :)
