Guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 From their site; The O2.IE Web Text service enables you to send text messages to other mobile subscribers phones free of charge. You can send up to 500 messages free of charge in one calendar month. I don't see a mention of free Int. txt messaging, though if a user states this is the case, there is no reason to doubt it. What about the possibility of a PAYG SIM card? O2's 'Speakeasy'. Maybe this one off purchase will enable you to use the service. If your mobile is unlocked.... Did you try the Oceanfree.net free SMS?

Guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 You're starting to lose me. The point is that they can send to Hamok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 oh yeah? anyways sms.ac are now up to 8 free sms/day & that includes most networks globally & very reliable too for those who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 It is still at the same 8 free credits daily. Good for UK mobile telephone users, as it's only 1 credit per message. Most other networks are between 3 and 5 credits. A possible, if paid, solution to Hamoks problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazingStarz Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 You can send SMS and receive using MSN messenger, but costs end user 3 Baht to send and receive each message. I have this working on DTAC and AIS over there. You have to register a dummy MSN account, then set up the mobile settings. This sends a pin to the phone that you will need to finish the registration. Replies go back to MSN messenger. Have'nt yet seen the bill yet to confirm the charges, but the terms and conditions reference it when signing up. ICQ is screwed, Yahoo didnt work nor did any of the other Web Based SMS sending methods. ICQ used to be briliant shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 DTAC/HappyDprompt only charges 3 baht per message from Thailand. To send to DTAC/HappyDprompt from any computer is free via 50 free SMS monthly It does work. The price from Thailand via AIS/One2Call varies depending on the promotion, though, as ib13 mentioned, you can send 8 free messages daily to UK mobiles via the sms.ac site. Sending TO Thailand costs between 1 - 3 baht for the end user to receive via web messaging Both of these systems are very reliable once set up and all messages are received on the respective mobile telephones.

chilli13 Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 cheapest way if sending many sms's daily probably is to use either msn or icq(chat) on your mobile via gprs instead of the expensive sms's. gprs rates aren't usually cheap either but wap browsing uses very limited data volumes so even at a high volume charge or some times even free promotions will make this a great value system - at least when it works in both ends! of course the main problem is that both users need to be hooked up by either mobile or desktop in order to faciliate chat i.e. 'free' sms, but as soon one user is disconnected for whatever reason sms's starts arriving from msn & they'll cost ye! mobile.msn.com / wap88.com (icq) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 oh yeah they charge number of credits per sms depending on the network/country in question & most are 3 credits thus meaning less than 3 sms/day except I guess e.g. UK, sweden, us, singapore & most other euro states with 'only' 1 credit a go thailand is 3 credits, indo 5 etc. anyway 2-8 free global sms a day not bad at all these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Ireland, the 'Euro state' that this thread is based on, takes 3 credits per message....as does Italy, Spain(partially), Greece, DENMARK, Portugal...... If the Thai contact can limit themselves to two messages a day, that's great. The 'free' SMS is a good thing, as long as you stay within the system. If the person using the system to contact you goes over the 2 SMS limit, that automatically deducts £1.50 from your mobile telephone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
