Free text messaging seems elusive -- the networks make big money from texting and clearly they have massive infrastructures to support the service. (example, in the UK we send 11 million text messages every hour).Paul C wrote:.....
TEXT messages -....... I,m sure there must be some free out there than can generate a text message from an email. I know I get facebook messages via text automatically so there may be a way, sadly I dont know how facebook manages it ?
I assume Facebook can do it due to advertising revenue generated from the site each time you visit.
The service I use to send text messages cost 4.5p per message. Which is good, especially when it is an important message. example, I wrote a system which will send me a text message if any of the servers at work stop responding. Well worth the pennies it cost to send.
It's all relative I guess
