SMS to Internationational mobiles

I am looking for the cheapest site to send an international sms text message from.
So far I have found https://www.c4sms.com which works out at 10p a message when buying 25 credits and 6.7p a message when buying 90 credits.

Surely there must be a cheaper one out there?!?!

Please help!

    www.agentsms.com allow 32 international texts per month for free (if you require more you could try multiple registrations).
    Before you buy Google Nest or British Gas Hive check out ESPproMon the Android and iOS Smartphone app that helps you build the same system from just £30.
  • I registered with agent sms......seems ok, but does the confirmation code they send you expose you to premium txt being sent to you.
    The sender txts were short codes 100 and 1000, these txts contained the confirmation code to register for free txts, supposedly sent free to me

    I believe Agent SMS are legitimate. I registered about a month ago and haven't had any premium rate charges.

    the numbers 100 and 1000 dont mean anything, in fact you can change the number your messages appear to be coming from to anything you like using agentsms. (or you used to be able to last time i looked at the site, dunno if you still can)
  • In that case we're all cool and saving money like it says on the tin!
  • As mentioned in the other thread, http://www.smsbug.com might well be good for you, approx 2.5p per text, plus you can send messages from your phone or online! Works well for me anyway!

    I found smsbug to be a bit lacking. Has anyone got any experience of mobiSMS?
