Greets.

Bored of spending 21p per text message. Any free (unlimited or not) web services to send text's to UK phone network customers?

Also got my first GPRS usage bill:

Origination: Manx
Destination: Orange Internet
Class: GPRSData
Megabytes: 0.1572
Cost: £1.070

:o Don't think I'll be leaving Messenger signed in on the phone any more, someone might send me a pic and instantly bankrupt me.

21p per text?!?

ps. http://cbfsms.com should work, although adds an annoying message on the end I believe

There used to be a wap service that sent free sms messages (was about the only good use of wap - that and footy scores) - Not sure if its still around though, have to search for it.

I#ve never been able to use the gprs thing on my phone, I don't even have a clue what it is :s

The only free text thing I use is what Er00 said.
