Send an email?
Its not quite free but you get 2p texts (im from england) but i think its an international thing: fishtext http://www.fishtext.com/
you install a java app and send them from in there, the reciever gets the text message from your number (rather than the text service's number) so friends can just click reply.
it's easy to top up your online credit, just send a normal text from your phone to fish text and it takes £5 off your credit and puts £5 in your online credit.

Hey guys,
Just been browsing around the net lately and see that you can send free text messages from certain web sites and now i hear ICQ. BUT, I was wondering if anyone here had written a program that will actually use the GPRS connection from our Data Plan to send out text messages? I know its a long shot, but i think it could work.
Reason : When you goto these sites . . (Ex. txtdrop.com; smseverywhere.com; etc) they allow you to send free text messages to almost any wireless carrier, some even just have you put in United States and then the number and it finds it for you. So i was thinking . . . Why not make a program that will do the same thing using those web-sites or something and instead of putting your name in where it says "you name" you just have it put in your wireless number so they can respond. SO, ur only getting charged for recieving txt messages.
I thought this up because i am with cingular myself here is the USA, and their plans is either 4.99 for 200 messages sent and recieved, or 19.99 for 3,000 sent and recieved!!! I already pay 39.99 for my F***IN unlimited data plan, WHY NOT USE IT!!!! If anyone can think of a way to get this to work, that would be AMAZING!!
I've heard there are programs that use ICQ to send and recieve free texts to phones but i haven't found anything for Windows Mobile. If someone knows of a way, or can think of an easy fix, please feel free to let me know ASAP!
i too iam trying to find this
iam on a company free data plan and had a bb 7290 that allowed me to send txt via gprs, i have an email account setup that allows me to send txt message via it on-line eg phonenumber @ sms.domain.co.uk this works online and can txt for free, ive setup a new email account that points to the ingoing outgoing address on my pda and currnetly testing this if you have any more info let me know please.
To All Developers and Programers,
I have looked at many SMS programs but have not found one that can send SMS messages completely free.
When I want to send a SMS for free I, since I live in Canada I goto the Rogers website and input the phone number and my message and it get sent for free. Obviously you need a data plan for this (Got the $30.00/6gb Plan).
My question is...
Is it possible to make an app that lets you do all this by channeling it through the Rogers website? By doing this SMS will be free?
I am not sure If i am explaining it correctly but just an idea.
Thanks
It is certainly possible. The sms will be free (except for data charges of course).
I guess you need to login to the Rogers website for this service? Is there a web form where you can enter your credentials + destination + message to send an sms, like most voip providers? (I'd guess not, since it's free).
Anyway, you can always try to find out the login procedure and write a php script that emulates that, then write a program for the ppc that sends your data to that php script...
You can just send your sms as an email and it would be free. the email would be their [email protected]. problem is that you need to know their provider and the providers sms domain.

here is a link to the provider addresses:http://www.notepage.net/smtp.htm
I heard that there is a way that you can schedule your text messages, in other words if you wanted to send a message 3 hrs from now you can write the message now and then set the time you want it sent. I was wondering if anyone has the link or cab file that will let me be able to do this.
thanks
Seriously?
You know, it takes less keystrokes and mouse clicks to use the search feature than it does to post a thread.
Try the first link
Trinket Software makes an application that does just that. It's called PowerSMS. It's a paid app. Costs $9.99. (a steep price imo). Available in Marketplace and here: http://www.trinketsoftware.com/PowerSMS/ There's a trial available as well.

I understand why someone would want this feature to schedule Sms... i too am not completely loyal with my gf, and at times when im with someone else I need to get away to txt her.... If you have a program like this, u can check in without checking in lol.... now the real question... could someone make a AI (artificial inteligent) auto respnder.. that could reply with sense other txts messages heheh... cheers
power sms
theres an app in the market place..you can buy it for 99 cents its called power sms!

I use power SMS and it works perfectly.
the free sms app is not good. it doesnt support landscape, and the keyboard pops up when u search contacts to add to ur scheduled sms.
go with powersms, its only a dollar on the marketplace but 9.99 online. (lol)
I just got into this article, new version 2.2 has just been released:
http://droidedup.com/2010/05/hullomail-2-2-for-android-now-available/
http://www.hullomail.com/us/android.html
And I found one alternative:
http://www.youmail.com
Is anyone using it with HTC Desire?
Any issue with it? Please if you can give short review
Have been using the previous version with no issues. Not had a lot of VM's but it works in that it sends you an MP3 of the message to your email address, or you can call the local number (included in your contract minutes normally) to retrieve the message as you normally would. You can also set custom greeting message if you wish. I would definately recommend - I've been on T-mobile in UK for few years and retrieving VM's were always the only 'external' charges on my bill each month - no more!
Thanks for your info. But I found this app is only for UK and US...
It is not available for other countries
Too bad, I live in NL.
And I can't find alternative.
I was thinking if there is an app that can simply record voicemail to local phone storage as mp3. That would be enough...

Found http://www.youmail.com/
The thing that I dont understand, how does it works "actually"? Because the basic service is free.
From their FAQ:
Q. How does YouMail work?
It's really simple. Calls you don't answer get forwarded to YouMail instead of your current wireless voicemail. That's it.

So, I will still pay to forward the voice mail to YouMail, correct?
I tried hullomail for about a day, and frankly didnt really like it,
had to sign in every time etc.. was just annoying so gave it up
Sign in? I never have to sign in. The only problem with hullomail I guess is that if you have your internet connection off, you wont get to know that you have a voicemail. (someone plz correct me if i am wrong here)

Unfortunately, this appears to be the case - if your phone is offline you get no notification. Hullomail originally offered SMS notifications, but they are no longer available. Customers who set-up SMS notifications in the past are still receiving them however!
WORKAROUND TO RECEIVE OFFLINE HULLOMAIL SMS NOTIFICATIONS
When a voicemail or missed call is registered by Hullomail, the system can send you both an email with the details/message, and a separate notification email.
It's possible that you could set the notification to go to an email>sms address - a number of providers, including some mobile companies - offer this service. (ipipi is one such provider that used to.. You'd have to double check)

My SMS notifications has stopped.
UpdateHullomail now offers SMS notifications, and transcription.
Both services are at a cost, and can be purchased in the 'in-app store' after installing the app in Google Play. One or more services might not be available for certain countries.

I've been using this for years, on Blackberries then Androids. It's always been flawless for me, and it's handy to have a permanent email with the voicemail attached. The facility to "just" dial in to get your voicemails when there's no data signal is great too.
Just a heads up for everybody; I'd recommend calling Verizon and adding the text messaging block to your account. I called last week about it since I noticed the per txt service code on my account but was assured that since my device didn't receive text messages I wouldn't ever be charged.
Sure enough I noticed on my account online that somebody tried sending me a message and sure enough verizon was going to charge me. I had to call in and get the block added (this time they actually did it, she mentioned that the first person should've just done it when I asked) and credited me back the 20 cents (!) for the text message I supposedly received.
Just wanted to warn everybody to keep an eye on their bill.
the question is, can i put a text plan on my Xoom , and how to I get txt messages if I did?

yes you can add a plan if you want to burn $$ every month.
and no, you can't receive texts via verizon on your Xoom.
