Dear all,
My mobile phone bill last month was horrifically expensive - £20 over the normal amount. I am now controlling my spend by using the online system of checking texts and bills, can you advise a good online site to cut text costs completely?
Many thanks,
EagerLearner

You can get 30 texts with http://orange.co.uk if you register your account.
You can register with a PayG sim as well.
Same goes with 10 texts from http://o2.co.uk
I believe you can register on both no matter what network you are on.
You need to have about 6 Orange accounts to send 200 texts which can save you £20.0 -
Hi, just checked Orange and they only allow registered Orange users - I used to be on a site called uboot.com but they have been bought over. ***** was quite good but now charge what I feel is not worth it to send texts online.
Does anyone know other sms sites that offer a good bundle for say £2? More worthwhile than a bolt-on with my network T-Mobile...
Thanks

When I'm online I send texts from www.cbfsms.com You only get 100 characters, and sometimes you have to wait for it all to go through, but it is free.Baby Year 1: Oh dear...on the move

Register with O2, and you get 30 messages for £1.5 (5p / text)
Thats if you have used all 10 of FREE ones.
But keep in mind that their site says you can type 155 characters in 1 text but actually you can type 145. Anything over that will be charged as two messages.0 -
Thanks - I will look at those - sounds good and will hopefully keep me in check!

why not get an O2 payg sim card which gives you 300 free texts per month for a £10 topup per month. The texts are free and the £10 is call-time.0
