Do you get a free data allowance? If not you need to work out your mobile operators data costs in addition to the 1p charge.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -

Not as far as I know! Am just on Virgin PAYG, don't use it much but thought for 1p a text, if legit, it would be worthwhile, if data charges apply, I can't be bothered with it, will just continue to us the free web based ones like CBFSMS etc.Don`t steal - the Government doesn`t like the competition0 -
Dunno about this one, but 18185.co.uk are now offering texts to UK and oveerseas for 1p and it does work. But u do have to set up an account, register a card, and you send the texts from inside your account. But it works!0

a text message is 1kb of data so your data charges will be insignificant, so may well be worth checking out.0

But that can only be done from the web, I am assuming http://www.fishtext.com/MOBILE/ can be done from a mobile, if not then I would continue to use Finerea,aka, 1899,18866,18185 etc, and this thread will be obsoleteDon`t steal - the Government doesn`t like the competition0 -
Fishtext is from your mobile, you can download the application here: http://wap.fishtext.com/FishText.jad
Seems that it actually costs 2p to text UK numbers... Vyke offer the same service but charge $0.02 so 1pSLC: £13000+
Quidco: £131.24 (paid) + £0 (validated) = £131.24
Valued Opinions: £75 (paid) + £52.30 (received) + £4.50 (pending) = £131.80
StudentPanel: £250
