Sending texts to dominican republic

Hi. Does anyone know the cheapest way to send texts to someone in Dominican Republic. They only have a mobile phone and no data.

    If you really mean the cheapest, then send the 'someone' a UK sim with enabled roaming. Incoming roaming texts are always free.

    Alternatively check Fishtext. AFAIK, the recipient doesn't have to have data connection to receive texts (the sender does - or can use a PC). Texts from UK to Dominica apparently cost 0.67p-1p depending on the network the recipient uses.

    As above, you need to state if you mean texting to a roaming UK mobile number or a Dominican Republic mobile number.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
