Reviews of SMS sites »

I use CardboardFish SMS all the time!

Advantages: Completely free, great if you've run out of credit
Disadvantages: May not be 100% reliable, you can only send short messages

...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 ...

My doo yoo experience

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

Since I joined Ciao I have also gone across to 'the dark side' as us ciao'ers call it. I have found it to be both very similar but very different at the same time which is a difficult concept to get my head around! I have found so many positives on dooyoo which make ciao look less favourable but then the negatives just make me prefer ciao... Dooyoo I don't want to write too much about what dooyoo actually is, I want to use this review as ...
...of it compared to ciao but I do think I have to explain a bit about the site so that those of you who aren't familiar with it can try and understand. Dooyoo is very similar to ciao in the way that it is a website in which you can review particular products and get paid for it. The pay system is different insofar as you get paid PER review so every time you actually write a review you get some 'dooyoo miles' which convert into money. Every time someone ...

Free sms on the web 100 per month

Advantages: Save 10p for each message you send
Disadvantages: Limited to 100 free sms per month

>>> Background I have used O2 (genie) for well over a year and has to be the best way of sending SMS from the net. Even though they placed the limitation to 100 free every month, it still isn’t bad. A recent update to their site now enables you to send 316 characters spread over a maximum of 3 sms's in one go and can also send the same message to multiple people simply by adding a comma after the name or number. You have a dedicated address book ...
...thus speeding up sending the messages. >>> The Service Messages are received almost instantaneous, however these can sometimes be delayed but not for too long. The sites availability is good, but on a few occasions the website has been down and won’t allow you to send any messages. >>> The Cost It doesn’t matter what network you are sending to, I send texts to ALL networks and can still use the facility free of charge, so you don’t have to be with ...

Advantages: Easy Free messaging
Disadvantages: limits

...all know its here. Free lycos messaging.

Its also save your fingers pressing the keys a few times for one letter, texting is now easier and free. I believe lycos offer 30 free messages or something like that? all well worth it, dont forget text charges are around 10p, these are free :) ...
