www.cbfsms.co.uk

Free txts, unlimited, but is usually very busy. Now gives you a confirmation of the txt sent AND you can recive replys back to teh site, and reply to them asap. No need for a mob anymore

i just tried to send a text from the site you recomended and it said, sending failed? i checked the status and it was green, so im not sure why it didnt send. do i need to register on the site? i typed the mobile no in that i was sending to with no spaces, maybe that was the prob...... also i do have norton firewall running which does stop some ads and may effect me sending messages on here, any ideas????

Hi,
Make sure when you enter the number in you dont put the 0 at the beingging. For example, 078= Now, 44 then yuo type in 78 is correct. Serviced is okay, and its nothing to do with firewall.

yeah i tried that without the 0 and i still got the same, sending failed etc, whats that vip thing, will that make it easier to send? or maybe its a setting on the computer thats stopping it sending.

At the end of the day, texting is all about convenience, and it's not convenient to have to stop off at a Internet cafe to send texts. I'm happy with my free text allowance.

Maybe it is your settings, as it works for me. Maybe try putting your firewall down or cookies lower to see what happens.

Yeap shame cos Lycos and O2 are proberly the only real ones that are free or work, use to be dozens before but not anymore.

Id advise going Orange PAYG and get the 20 quid text saver pack... u get 5 free sms per day for a whole year

That should just about cover your texting habits

You can get the Orange Text Saver for £11.99 at Amazon now. A real bargain.

www.orange.co.uk is another place where you can get 30 free texts per month. www.studentfreestuff.com give you 5 per day I think but I find they are not as reliable as they once were...
