There has to be some downsides, surely. After all, you don't get anything for free these days. (My, you're a suspicious type!) Well, not all free sms services are fast. Not all services let you receive messages on your cellphone (or your PC). And not all free text messaging sites work. And some free sms services are not even free, they just claim to be. Sometimes people get charged for receiving a message, and sometimes people are charged for sending them, via sneaky subscription charges buried away in tiny terms and conditions. However, most free sms sites that have been around a while "do what it says on the tin"; i.e. they offer fast, easy-to-type free sms texting. And as such these sites are some of the net's best-loved freebies. And even the sms sites that charge you, like ipipi, allow you to send sms quickly to almost anywhere in the world at a fraction of the cost of sending texts from your mobile or cell phone. So why use free sms text messaging sites?
Well, er, it's free.
It's quicker: think typing rather than fumbling with your cellphone keypad.
It's worldwide: think of all your friends who don't live in the same country as you.
Above all, think free sms is free. |
