cbfsms.com

Right so my fishy theme continues but this isnt an aquarium based product nor is it even vaguely related to the sea, it is in fact a free web based text messaging service. So as Ive mentioned in other reviews I have recently moved and my contract mobile doesn't get a signal so I'm having to use a pay and go number, which as happens to many people ran out of credit about the same time as my bank account ran out of cash. Lucky really that the accomodation ...
...can do a nice search for 'free sms'. This was the first site that came up. cbfsms.com, or cardboard fish sms. The site is presented with slightly garish colours (orange and blue -blue sea and orange for a goldfish maybe?). The box in which you type your message is the white block halfway down the page, the narrow white box is for you to enter the phone number- crazily enough it even says so next to the box, preentered in the box is 44 (the UK prefix) ...

Review of cbfsms.com

CBF stands for CardBoard Fish and is a website that offers a free worldwide SMS (text messaging) service. However, the site and service are paid for by placing heavy advertising on their site, including popups which you have to check the box to be willing to accept, in order to use the service. You also have to check a box to confirm that you will use no popup blocking software while using the site. Given that there is no login system, you have ...
...which can get a bit tedious and this is why I haven't given CBFSMS full marks. The site is quite easy to use, you simply type in the phone number of the person you want to send a text message to and then enter the message in the form, though you do have a limited amount of space for characters, so you can only send fairly short messages. You will also get a popup advert with every single message you send. Also, a lot of the time you may have to ...

Review of cbfsms.com

I first found this a couple of years ago and then lost it and only found it again last year. What is www.cbfsms.com? It's a place where you can send free text messages to any UK mobile number or if you want to be VIP, you can get cheap texts. I normally use this site when I've run out of my 10 O2 text messages and when I don't really want to use any money on the person I'm texting. Like my old boss used to make me text her or call her for various ...
...so I generally used this site for that purpose. How does CBFSMS work? CBFSMS has two different options. There's the free service and the VIP service. - Free texts - For the free texts, you don't have to register. On the homepage, you will find an orange box. Just type the mobile number in box next to the word "number" but lose the zero from the number as the 44 is the international code for the UK and it won't work with the zero. For example, ...

...the site's logo, just saying CBFSMS.com (stands for Cardboard Fish SMS if anyone is wondering!), and underneath (overlooking the adverts of course) is a line of options, including 'Send Message', 'Confirmation', 'Replies', 'FAQ', 'System Status', 'Abuse' and 'Contact Us'...all the general pages you'd find on a website. The gist of the website is that you can send text messages for free to any UK network, or if you click on their linked website Fish ...
...out. When you type CBFSMS.com into a URL bar/search engine, you are brought immediately to the Send Message page. As I said before, this consists of the logo, links, adverts, and if you scroll a little further down the page there is are some message boxes. The top box you are probed to insert the number you wish to send a text to, and in the bigger box below you type your text. You are limited to 137 characters per text, which isn't a lot, given ...

Review of cbfsms.com

I found cbfsms.com when I was trying to find a free text site months ago now. I use the site regularly, almost every day in fact - but that doesn't mean I like it. Here's the pros and cons of the site. ~~~ The Pros ~~~ The biggest pro you will ultimately see is the fact that it's completely free. Everyone loves free stuff, and texting being quite expensive for the length of messages you can send again their price (unless you're on contract), cbfsms.com ...
...time (GMT), you will find that you can send a text immediately, which will last until approximately 9am when things start changing. This varies; on Sundays I have seen this last until about 1pm. Pros end there, however. ~~~ The Cons ~~~ Where to begin? Well, let's start with the site itself. Yes, the texts are free. But check out the amount of adverts there are. Tonnes of the things! They're distracting, and along with the adverts you also have ...

...-- Background Information -- Cbfsms.com is run by Cardboard Fish which provides lots of services including e-mail ( now discontinued ), Free Content for your mobile phone, Free Chat, Cinema Listings and (obviously) Free SMS sending. The websites that they run all have advertisements on them ! -- The Bad Stuff -- Ok, Lets get the bad stuff over and done with. The first disadvantage to cbfsms.com is the slowish loading time of they're pages. This ...
...The Good Stuff -- Cbfsms.com ( apart from most of the bad stuff ) is not a bad site once your message has been sent, It will be received by the person you sent it to within a matter of seconds. I tried sending some to myself ( I know, I'm sad ) and they got here amazingly fast. The other good thing is that you can send as many text messages as you want but that's only if you can be bothered going through the hassle. They're is also a VIP section ...

Review of cbfsms.com

If you are short of credit on your phone and want to save yourself some money, you can send a free SMS from the cardboard fish! It is quite handy, as I use it to send little football related updates to my mate while he's at work so I don't have to spend any money on them. There is quite a few adverts on the site, but considering you are getting a free service you really can't complain about a few adverts and the one pop-up which comes up at the ...
...in the number you wish to send it to, but with 44 at the start instead of a 0. You can only send a message which has 137 characters, so keep your message very short. Once this is done, you'll get a wee message saying "NOTE: Abuse is strictly forbidden. This service is NOT anonymous. We store all records for at least two years and co-operate fully with the Police to TRACE Abusive messages to the originator. Read the Terms and Conditions before you ...

Review of cbfsms.com

...you might want to give cbfsms.com a try. Its a no fee, no signup sms site. You can send an sms to any mobile free of charge. "Fantastic" cheer the crowds of paupers and peasants... Now, unfortunately, as with everything, there's a bad side. As I write this review, I am waiting for the site to 'reset' itself. It has a limit of texts which can be sent from the site in each 10 minute window. Therefore, if you're not quick, then you will have to sit ...
...the screen so you can send the message at the next attempt. At the risk of sounding ungrateful, it's a bit of a pain. You know exactly where. While this can be frustrating, there are no forms to fill out and no fee, so its always worth an attempt. If you stay away from peak times then it isn't usually as busy. Although I warn you, I have been waiting for 20 minutes to send this text. But it has just gone through. It does work but its not for the ...

...sites have a limit. With CBFSMS.com however, you can send unlimited messages! ***HOW TO USE IT*** You just go to the site and enter the recipient's phone number and the message. When you click on "SEND" you have the option to have delivery confirmation (this is handy, as not all messages seem to get through), and whether you want replies back through the website. You also have to agree not to use pop-up blocking software on your PC otherwise it ...

You will have a button on your browser saying "Check for replies". Click this to see if you have received a reply. If you are going to close the browser then you have the option to check back by setting a memorable word and you must remember the reply code as well. Personally, ...

I first started using CBFSMS about three years ago when I never had any credit. It was great as I could text people for free and get replies to the site and then get another message to send.

You can get replies to the site again now but a lot of mobiles can't reply to the message you have sent them using CBFSMS ...

Well I don't know what it's like as a member but it's meant to be a free site and you have to pay to be a member every week according to my friend. I personally don't like the site anymore.

As saving money goes this has saved me quite a lot! Texting is quite expesnsive, especially if you have a girlfreind or boyfreind..or you just text a lot. This website lets you text from your computer for free...FREE! The downside is that you cant put as many letters as a normal text. Also it gets busy and you cant send your text (the quietist time seems to be early moring and evenings on a weekday) the best way of sending your text is if its it ...

I suppose it's alright if your sending a text and you don't expect a reply but otherwise there is no point in wasting your time. You might as well just top you mobile up that's what i do now. If you don't become a member then it is rubbish. But if you become a member you have got to pay for the texts which is not what you expect if you search for free SMS texts ...
