Sending SMS for free

Sending SMS messages from the Internet is not a new idea, and currently there are a number of companies that provide this service. However, with growing number of service providers it gets harder and harder to pick the right one.

Luckily, GigaOm was on the task and Katie Fehrenbacher, one of the site’s contributors, posted a very useful article titled “5 Ways to SMS for free“. There Katie, as the name says, goes through some of the most popular services that allow users to send SMS free of charge.

We’ll just summarize the services she mentioned. They are: TeleFlip, Peekamo, Gizmo SMS, and TxtDrop. At the end, Katie suggest that you should check whether your carrier provides free web-to-SMS service…

    Also remember; never tell a woman you love her, unless you are willing to marry her. Then, infatuation is basically selfish where real love is basically selfless. Infatuation is more interested in satisfying yourself and your “feelings” than it is in the other person.

    Real love is primarily interested in the other person. It seeks to give instead of get. Love unselfishly seeks the highest good for the other person.

    Lastly, infatuation is weakened by time and separation where real love is strengthened by time and separation. This does not mean that there will be no pain in separation. On the contrary, there is great pain in separation if you are truly in love.you don’t know much in-depth about the person you so-called love. Thus infatuation is mostly biological.

    @Antonia – It’s free in terms of, “it doesn’t cost the sender anything to send a text message”, however standard text messaging rates may still affect the receiver.

    The world of online sms services has seen much innovation lately. For example, that Gizmo service only lets you send a one time text message. But it doesn’t handle recurring messages – like reminders. For this, I like where http://www.textreminders.net is going. Much easier to use, and a ton more features.
