Post by adam »

Hi anyone,

Is there any free application that could be used to send sms to designated mobile phones.

Any idea or help on this would be kindly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

I have no experience with this myself, but apparently it can be done through Skype - see SMS text messages.
Best wishes,

Click the Download link.

But please note that you have to pay for each SMS sent, and that you can only send to mobile numbers in India:

Shouldn't you try the version for the country where you live? It is in the list on the left hand side.

I've tried. But does not seem to work. I mean I'm not getting the text message. Is it working on your area?

Yeah you're right. I guess because of that it is not working and I'm not receiving text messages. Most sites say they provide free sms. But I guess none works.
