callippo Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 not free but the cheapest PAYG UK network I've found to send texts abroad is IDT mobile. Calls are also cheap, you don't think of them any different than you do domestic ones. Even the Far East (except North Korea lol) is like 4/5/6/7p each, about the same rate per minute for calls as for each text. and it works the same way the other way too. I have Asian friends that say its cheaper for them to call here to transmit a message verbally, say in 30 seconds, than it is to send a text message to the same phone. It's like flagfall in a taxi, where you always have a minimum charge. Text messages are like that. Unlike phone calls, they don't charge any less for short ones than they do for long ones. Verbal messages can be cheaper to transmit than written ones, even 10,000 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dananos Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi, It depends on where you want to send them, for example, to australia, you could use freebiesms .com.au, or South africa, freebiesms .co.za, Ireland, same domain, just add .ie ... for the other sites, just scroll down to the bottom of site, and select the country.

neeeeeeeeeek Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have never been charged to receive a text while abroad and the person who sends it has not been charged any more than standard rate (which is free on most contracts now.) Calls are expensive and it was expensive to text back to the UK but not texting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
