This site is a free sms guide, work your way through it.

I use Fonetastic, I think I'm given 5 texts a day.

i signed up to bubbletext and have found i am charged £1.50 for update messages from them. I know i should have read the conditions properly so i will be more careful next time.

I use sms.ac and don't get charged for sending or receiving, however if the receiver replies to an sms.ac oriented sms THEN the sender gets charged 50p. My boyf and I tend to use it as we remember about the charge, whereas other family and friends dont know or forget. also it will accept any mobile no. so a french no. is fine, and with picture messaging, if you send one it will send an sms requesting the receiver to visit a sms.ac website link, so in other words you cant look at the pic on the phone.

hope this helps

edit: also you can turn off any automated messages sent by sms.ac in your web profile.
