The freedom of cordless. BT Freestyle 250 SMS Quad

Advantages: Plenty of great features
Disadvantages: Tiresome storage of names and numbers

...Review of BT Freestyle 250 SMS Quad Cordless Phone System **The Product** This is a user friendly cordless home phone system which in my opinion, is an excellent product for upgrading from a 'corded' phone. Cordless phones make it possible to make and receive calls in and around the house, rather than limiting users to a phone attached to a socket. You do not need any extra phone socket wiring for the additional handsets and the system is simple and fairly easy to use. The phones are comfortable to hold and the range is very good. The buttons are easy to use and for the price this system is very good. I paid in the region of £65 for the system from Amazon, around 15 months ago. **Main Features** * 50 Name and number directory * 15 Minutes recording time * Caller Display * SMS text messaging * Backlit LCD * Built in digital answering...

Txt for less - internet sms

Advantages: Make new friends, Something to do!
Disadvantages: Costs lots, not as good as it sounds!

...With the cost of mobiles these days whether on a contract or pay as you go deals. The internet can be a solution to all us text maniacs out there. As I discovered WWW.SMS.AC my first thought was great a simple website address to remember that memory of mine couldn?t take in any complicated. Co.uk?s or. Uk.org! Of course there is always the simple solution to this just add it to my favorites but I?m not always using the same computer so this wouldn?t help! SMS.AC web page is quite bland looking nothing really stands out when you arrive apart from the SMS.AC logo, which is in four different colours at the top of the page. You?ll find a gray box at the left hand side of the page, above this is a link, which says ?Join SMS.ac ? Its Free?. So if you?d like to become a member now?s the time to click on this. Your be...

Sending an SMS? KAPOW!

Advantages: Fast, reliable, cheap
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...Incase you didn't know, an SMS gateway works like this: SMS from my PC-->SMS gateway-->SMSCentre(o2 etc)-->mobile phone The Kapow site is http://www.kapow.co.uk/ I use SMS from the internet to send messages to my friends and relatives instead of using my mobile phone. I started off using free sms from yahoo, lycos and uboot, but it was really unreliable and most of the time the message appeared to be from a funny number instead of from my mobile. Also I would ask people if they got my messages as they hadn't replied and they would say that they didn't receive anything from me. Another thing that annoyed me was that most of the time the websites added a 'tag' which advertised their company, this meant that half the message I was sending had already gone. Even when I sent test messages to myself the quickest a message came through...

Review of KAPOW! SMS Gateway

Send AND Recieve SMS messages online

Advantages: Free SMS, can send AND recieve
Disadvantages: ???

...Why pay to send SMS messages people asked. Everyone was fed up with paying up to 12p to send SMS messages so breathe.com set up a free SMS sending site. This was great apart from the fact you had to join up and it also took a while for the SMS messages to arrive at the recipients phone. To solve this Lycos UK set up a SMS service which was free and did not require signup. People were happy for a while untill someone asked. "Why can't we recieve them online as well?" Well now you can. ICQ 2000b has its own SMS messaging service that now allows you both send and recieve online SMS messages! YOu can also have default signatures and send to both UK and international phones!!! ICQ is free, but it does require signup, yet it features so many other fantastic features. For more details go to my user profile and read my ICQ review!...

My review for www.SMS.ac

Advantages: Mobile Community, Free Messaging, Cool Site, Pictures of contacts
Disadvantages: Can get expensive

...I have been using this site for two months now and have come a bit addicted to it. It's kind of a pain to always need to go the web to send to my smsClubs and groups, but I find myself doing it every day. I contacted their customer service and was informed that there is supposedly going to be full mobile functionality and a WAP version of their site. It will be much better then. If you like to flirt around, I would highly recommend smsFlirt. I usually get a response rate of about 50%, which is really high in comparison to many other dating sites or services. I have had several dates using SMS.ac, some good (some bad). However, it works and beats going to a club and spending 50 pounds in order to meet someone. I find a similar article about someone getting pretty serious using this type of service - it's becoming more...

Review of sms.ac

I get flashed at for moving too much!!

Advantages: Easy to use, lots of options
Disadvantages: None as yet

.... The buttons themselves are quite small in size, so if you are like me and have small hands and fingers it is perfect but you have big hands then you may have some difficulty with the buttons. There is a red and green telephone button which is for answering and ending calls which is commonplace with most telephones and a menu to allow you to scroll through the telephone options to change the ring tone, volume of the ringer, your SMS messages and so on. When I bought my handsets within the box I got two bases, two telephones, all of the wires I needed and the user manual which I haven't even begun to read properly yet, but it is set out with picture diagrams so that I don't have to sit confused trying to figure out how something works. So what features do these phones possess? 1) There is a quite a large directory which allows me to...

Free texts? Get in!

Advantages: Free texting, easy enough to navigate, 8 free texts a day.
Disadvantages: Some features expensive, very slow loading, TERRIBLE background music!

...Note - I am only reviewing the free stuff on this site. This is because A) When I join a text site I don't join to pay someone loads of cash when I can do that on my phone anyway, and B) Because I haven't explored them yet due to reason A). During the long summer holidays of 2004, I did what most jobless 16 year olds do.... ran out of credit on my phone. And frankly, I could not be bothered totopup. Now, the rest of my family used Lycos to text people, sending 5(I think) free texts a day. But that wasnt enough. So, armed with a keyboard and Google, I searched for oh, about ten minutes. I found sms.ac, a small, simple, and easy-looking website. I was a bit dubious about giving out my phone number, but I decided to risk it. After about half an hour, during which I registered and activated my account, I was sending text messages. It...

Banish SMS thumb!

Advantages: Gives the ability to use your PCs keyboard (with compatible software).
Disadvantages: A potential issue between the cable/device driver and my phone.

...them regarding the cable has been pending for two weeks and I've had no contact from them whatsoever. This does not please me. If I'd paid the full price for the DKU-5 cable from a high street shop (cheapest price I've found is £25), I'd be fuming. The new cable and driver software have worked fine since installation though. The build quality seems decent enough, and the connection between phone and cable seems snug. Using Nokia's own PC Suite, the phone is recognised each time it is connected. Overall, I've found that using the cable has made me make better use of my phone as I'm no longer having to squint at a small screen or worry about getting SMS thumb by setting up everything using my phone's keypad. The new cable has worked impeccably, but I've no experience of other connection methods (wireless, Bluetooth etc.) so cannot...
