It's Text.... Text... Textmania - Cured!
Review of uboot.com by SophieWehr

Advantages: Save money, easy to use, lots of other benefits
Disadvantages: No UK Customer service, sometimes messages delayed

I first discovered www.Uboot.com, on online text/SMS service, 2 years ago when they were young and free. Since then alas, they have started charging for their service… but I knew this would happen. The subscription cost is nothing compared to the savings you make if you decide to join. I’m not kidding – my mobile bill has changed radically since becoming a member and Uboot gives me what I need to satiate my texting needs as well as some fun stuff ... Read review

BOOTIFULL FREE SMS FOR U ......
Review of uboot.com by Broksababie

Advantages: Unlimited Free SMS,Email, Extras.
Disadvantages: Not All Free.

Not long ago I told you about The free SMS site Vizzavi, however it is not the only site of it’s kind available. www.uboot.com is another excellent free site that also has added extras thrown in and it's free for text messaging. First of course you will need to register, choose a uboot nickname, enter password and your email details, plus your mobile phone number, however you do not even need to have a mobile to be able to send and receive ...

Textual attraction
Review of uboot.com by blurbubble

Advantages: Free, easy to use, email facilities
Disadvantages: Will it stay free? can't always get replies to inbox.

WOW! I recently wrote about SMS free texting using Lycos but was tempted to look at this site through another site (Dooyoo!) member's comment (thanks to Helen 79 on Dooyoo!). It seems it's just as well as since singing the praises of the Lycos SMS service I have had nothing but problems with slow service and constant error messages when trying to send texts. So I decided to check out U Boot and I can confirm it's great! All free, it provides ... Read review

Advantages: Free to sue, efficient, unlimited SMS messages, lots of features

You’re given your own SMS number too, so that people can message you back not only via your phone but through the ... Read review

Review of uboot.com by bainsd

Advantages: very effiecient
Disadvantages: no file attachments

uboot is brilliannt. Ever since I first got onto it I have used every single time i have been on the net and I feel this is the complete online mobile package. It is completely geared towards connecting the mobiles and intenet, and includes many different features In my uni and with my friends on the internet it seemed to reach a high level of interest around christmas but due to some problems many dropped it as a regular visitor. However in recent ... Read review

Advantages: free sms, free mail, simple handling, design
Disadvantages: server probs, many idiots in the community :-)

...page are serveral feautres of uboot.com also called advertising in own interests. On the right side are some stats about Uboot.

Also you can see in the stats who sends who a SMS. Very intresting… *sleep*. :-D The background of the site is black and the writing almost is white. It really is ... Read review

Uboot - who r U
Review of uboot.com by IcelandsBitOfFluff

Advantages: it's a free unlimited service
Disadvantages: it doesn't cope well with lots of traffic

There are various services offering free sms on the internet. Unlike some of the others (genie, orange and Vizzavi to name but a few) Uboot offers unlimited text messages to be sent daily. You can register a user id without having to give a lot of information. If you are registering your mobile phone with them they will send you a code as a text message to confirm you have put in the right number and that it is your phone. You automatically ...

AT last, No Advertising
Review of uboot.com by skpsirwin

Advantages: Many features, no advertisements
Disadvantages: None

I have at last found the site that offers you advertising free SMS. I have been to all, and I mean all of the sites that offer no advertising on their text messages, although i have found a few, they have been slow unreliable and tacky. With U-boot, you are allowed the full 160 character capacity, although you do have to be cever to get this. Before I go into the ins and outs of U-boot I am going to digress In the past i have had a problem ... Read review

UBooted
Review of uboot.com by ayanayuk

Advantages: Cheaper text messaging
Disadvantages: Server problems, slow support, impossible to change registered number

I've been a member of UBoot since it started towards the end of 2000, and the service was great. Recently though it has become problematic and nigh on impossible to use. The original premise was great. Free text messaging and e-mails delivered to your mobiile phone (although these had to be 140 characters or less) and for a while this worked fine. Then, as the SMS services proved costly to run, they phased out the free messages and replaced it ... Read review

The SMS Community - Uboot
Review of uboot.com by wazlee

Advantages: free SMS, email, chat
Disadvantages: slow, all black, not always reliable

This site is available in three countries - United Kingdom, Austria and Germany. Anybody who havent heard of this site before is that this site is a online community where people chat to each other without giving out your true identity to anybody else. This means that you can chat to other people that are online at the same time as you on the site itself. Also you can send free text messages (SMS) from this site and you can send anonymous messages ... Read review

The phone networks lose out
Review of uboot.com by Overlord_2

Advantages: Free text messages!
Disadvantages: Promised a free gift that didn't turn up.

I discovered Uboot as I got a text message from one of my friends using Uboot. I thought that I could benefit from this service and I was very impressed. With Uboot you get an email address, and are given the ability to send text messages from your computer. These messages are anonymous which I thought could be worrying for someone recieving one with no name left at the end but between friends it's fun. The SMS text messaging service has proved ...

Truly Ubootiful
Review of uboot.com by GreendayBabe

Advantages: Every type of communication is free! There are many friendly people using uboot already.
Disadvantages: Extra (chosen) types of communication e.g. long text costs.

Uboot is a great free SMS and communication sight. It is set out so easily that you could be new to computers and work it. Once you have signed up you have access to free texts from the net, free email, a free web type page, free chatroom access and access to Uboot’s own photo community. When you sign up for a uboot account you will be asked for a chosen name to use and then your mobile number. If you have a mobile you can connect it to the ... Read review

Best communications site available - it is for me
Review of uboot.com by TYoung

Advantages: Free Site, SMS, Email, Chatrooms, Reliable and has many excellent features
Disadvantages: Not 100% sure that ur texts reach the desired place but then thats the same with all texts even from mobiles.

Ive been a member of UBoot for quite some time now and i recommend this site to all. When i first joined UBoot it was hardly known and there wasnt many available options to choose from apart from SMS txt and Chat but now it has been greatly transformed into a very popular choice of communicating. For those who have not heard of UBoot before of just havent joined UBoot, well can i tell you something...this site offers loads and loads and the best ... Read review

Free SMS
Review of uboot.com by Helen79

Advantages: Free SMS, email, easy to use
Disadvantages: Can't reply

Uboot is the first service that I came across on the net to offer free SMS. So far I have not found a better one. Some limit you to how many you send a day. This is not the case with uboot. You do have to register with them but then you do for most other SMS services. The messages are sent really quickly and you don't get annoying adverts which really slow thing down. When the message is sent it gives your username. I have made my username my ... Read review

Disappointing but fun
Review of uboot.com by gavin4

Advantages: free sms messaging, no daily limits
Disadvantages: sometimes webpages take a long time to load

My very first impressions of uboot.com was brilliant, what could be better than being able to send sms messages from the internet for free, being someone who uses the internet alot I felt that this would be a valuable service as it costs me a fortune to send sms off my mobile and you have all the hastle of having to try to key it in on that little keypad(how annoying and frustrating.) They allow up to 160 characters per sms message, and there is ... Read review
