Looks like its true. They let me send 5 messages and now its saying I do not have enough credit to complete this SMS. What a shame....looked too good to be true.

Does anyone know how much the 'default rate' for a text is when you run out of free texts? Can't find it anywhere on the site.

DonGotti

Are there any alternatives that do actually allow FREE text messages to be sent with your own number displayed?

I am not sure what voip sms service is but I use www.18185.co.uk for my landline calls and they also let me add my mobile number to the account and I can send text messages for 1p and they show my mobile number. You have to send them from the 18185 website so I dont know if this is what you are looking for.

cozza, you can send SMS to mobiles in Turkey using 18185.co.uk.

Click Edit on the menu bar, click Find on this Page enter Turkey in the Find: box then click Next.

Voipcheap charge about a third of a penny (0.050c) for sending SMS to Turkey.

Does anyone else use 18185 to send sms? i have for a month or so and they advertise as costing one pence each. They keep invoicing me 6 pence each now. i have emailed them 3 times now with no reply. Does anyone else have this problem. First time I have made a post so hopefully in the right bit!!

If you're happy paying a penny for texting then maybe you could try 1899.
