Text Messages FAQs

1. Can you really send text messages free?

Yes. Just find text messaging sites that send free text messages to your country and you're laughing! :-)

You can find free text messaging sites for countries like UK, US, Pakistan, Germany etc. (find a bigger list here!).

Sending free sms is great using a mobile phone (cellphone), but even more fun when you send text messages online. That's because you can type your text message.

2. Is Sending Free Text Messages Safe?

Usually, it is. Especially so if you use Fonetastic (they have a strict privacy policty). Some people do get caught out by using subscription services (always check the small print) and services like sms.ac are often complained about. (Messages do not always get delivered, but that's another story!)
