How to Send SMS Text Messages Online for Free

Mobile phones can undoubtedly be labeled as the greatest invention of modern times. They make our lives easier with their countless benefits, including the highly effective SMS or Short Messaging Service. SMS is the general term for the technology that allows people to send and receive text messages via mobile phones.

With recent technological advances, free international text messages can be sent worldwide from many online service providers. And the best thing is that you don't even need a cell phone if you have a computer. You simply register the desired information on one of the sites that offer free SMS services and follow the simple instructions. There is a space for the mobile number of the recipient, as well as space for the message. It depends on the free SMS provider, but usually the maximum number of words allowed is generally set at 137 characters. However, some Indian SMS providers allow even more than this. Text messages can contain words, numbers or another alphanumeric combination. Binary format is also usually supported.

Some free SMS service providers offer many additional services to senders, such as delivery confirmations or replies. This way you can follow your sent messages and see when they are received. Even if you choose answers, the recipients can even reply back to you. This two-way SMS communication without spending a penny is only possible through a free SMS service provider on the Internet.

Given that you usually have to pay to send an SMS, sending free, international SMS via online SMS service providers is a great, fast way to communicate with friends and family. For example, in the UK, messages cost £ 0.10, and with people sending dozens of messages every day, costs can rise.

Also writing a text message with your mobile phone takes a little too long compared to using your keyboard. Even on the most modern mobile phones with advanced, predictive text messages, writing a message can be very difficult and time consuming. Consider how fast it is to type a message on the keyboard of your computer, it is much faster than with your cell phone.

Because they are free, some messaging services are reliable, others not at all and others very slow. Also, many services will add and advertise at the bottom of your message, although this does not cause many problems, as it reduces the number of characters allowed.

Be very careful when registering for a free SMS service. Not all are as free as they claim to be, some send text messages to your phone, making the service quite expensive.
