I used to use the (paid-for) VIP text-via-Web service from Cardboardfish/CBFSMS, the company that offers the Fishtext app; although mostly fine, I found that it wasn't 100% reliable, and a few texts weren't delivered, so I personally wouldn't use such a service for 'mission-critical' texts.

But I'd be happy to hear that the reliability has improved...

I have been using Fish Text from the computer for over a year and never had any texts that were not delivered.

Thanks to OP for this great find, have dl'd the app to my iPhone but struggling with trying to bring my contacts across, can anyone help? Am using this from my iPhone, not a PC.

Hi Siren,

I use this for my iPhone too and found once I'd registered with my number etc, when I go to the + button where you enter a contact number, all my iPhone contacts came up and I could just select one...

HTH.

Cheers op. Gonna give it a try, few members of my family live abroad and I spend a fortune texting them.

You can use this program if you can download applications to your phone. But you will need to use data allowance to run the program. If you are on PAYG then will need to see how much using mobile internet would be per day to see if is more cost efficient.

I am on PAYG but I prefer to use Fishtext on my computer as I am quicker at typing then texting. Plus no web access to pay for.

hi
how do you use it from your computer?
thanks

You just register for an account here

http://www.fishtext.com

You get 20p free in your account to use as you wish. You can use the account via your computer here or via an app. on your mobile.

To those wishing to use the FishText app on their mobile whilst abroad, check with your service provider what the data costs are whilst abroad as you do not want to have a huge bill!
