    Apparently, there's a limit to how many you can send in a day (30, I belive, but don't quote me), but I've never reached it. It can get congested if you're trying to send texts back-to-back. Just be patient -- they do, truthfully, tell you how long the wait will be -- and you'll be able to send another.

    The good thing about this service is that there's no software to download, like with others. The downside is that they stick a stupid ad at the end of it. You'll also have to identify yourself at the beginning of the text, losing some of 137 characters allocated for your text. Another thing: the text can take some time (a few hours was the worst case) to get to the recipient.

    That being said, I use the service all the time.

    Have you entered the number correctly? you need to use the international code, (447952****** ),not 07952****** without spaces.
