    Yes I know..its a super handy service and nice and easy to use.
    I had a thought of how to get more than the new 50 per month allowance.....sign up under a different email address.....I have just done that and now have access to 100 free texts a months.......thats a fine amount for me.


    Hope that helps........

    All you have to do is register over and over again with different e-mail accounts. 1a_y_wink.gif
  • 118 888 appear to have discontinued their free SMS service altogether wef today claiming it is due to "re-development" of the site, although there's no mention of the service coming back when the site is "re-developed".

    Probably cutting down the allowance last month didn't do it for them - people just registered extra identities. A real shame - it was easy to use and great while it lasted.

    Any tips on the next best, please?
