Cheaper Texting

Options
The following site

https://www.tex2me.com/

is offering a way to cut texting costs by 90% for GPRS enabled phones. It seems to work a bit like VOIP, where you use your broadband connection as a phone line.

You and the person you're texting must have the software installed on your phones, but it might be useful for very heavy users.

Note: this is just a head's up - not a recommendation - mobile phone's are far too complicated for me!

    I've seen something similar with a different company called Juize but they charge a subscription fee which Tex2 don't seem to.

    "We reckon that £5.00 will let you exchange around 1000 Tex2 messages." - COOL! lol
    I'm better off without you.

    yeah you pay for the gprs data transfer, which will work out less than 10/12p for the amount of data in a single message.
