Hello all.

 

1. I understand that you can send free text messages through this site, is that correct? Where?

2. If this is true, where does the text go if the reciever replies to the text? Would it go directly to your phone, or to an email, etc.?

3. Is it possible to recieve free texts on my computer from a phone so we can chat back and forth without me having to be charged?

 

Thanks for any of the help you can give me.

Yes.

Don't bother with texting from the site since (1) you're limited to 140 chars and (2) the replies go to your phone.

Doing # 3 is the best way if you're on the computer.  

Login to your AIM login via AIM Express and add your friends' phone number into your Buddy List (format: +1xxxyyyzzzz)

Then simply click their phone number/alias and start an IM conversation.

They will receive your IM as a text msg on their phones. But you're IM'ing for free from your computer.

What exactly isn't working?

You cannot access the site?

Or you cannot login?

I can do both just fine.

I think you'll like how it works.

I do it all the time when I'm at work 🙂
