Lycos is great. You name it they've got it. E-mail, Dating agencies, Search Engines, Mobile phone logos and ringtones, free SMS and now you can even get replies from your text messages to the computer!! Now how cool is that.

The first thing that i used Lycos for, was to get an e-mail address. I did so, but I found it a bit on the slow side so I then changed to hotmail (thats another story). Then I found out that it could be used to send text messages too, which was a great thing for me because I never had any credit on my mobile. I must have sent 10 messages a day using Lcos, and they were all sent instantly. I have had no problems with sending them as far as I can remember.

Now, Lycos has started 'Reply to Me'. This a service which enables you to receive replies to the text messages you have sent. The replies actually come to your account on the site, and it doesn't cost you anything. (However it costs the person who is replying about 10p, depending on your telephone network!)

The dating agency on the site is Love@Lycos. I don't know what its like because I have never tried it.

The search engine is extremely easy to use. You just type in what your searching for and up comes alist of all the things to do with it. there can sometimes be over 1000 sites and topics!! If there are no results, then try giving more detail on what your looking for.

On Lycos mobile, apart from the texts that I told you about. You can buy logos for mobile phones, ringtones and NEW! voicemail messages. I don't really know what the voicemails are like, but the ringtones and logos are great.

Here is some info on theVoicemail that I copied:
