    Lads/Lassies,

    Want to send txts to a friend in Oz and realised that Vodafone are ripping me off at 25c per text especially as I have have the add on text pack.

    Can anyone recommend any of the online SMS services that are available out there?

    02 send them to New Zealand on their website so more than likely they send them to Austrailia.Pay a tenner for a sim and use the 250 a month webtexts.

    O2 allow you to send to any international mobile number from what I hear. If you can text the mobile on an O2 mobile you can do it on their site.

    Use meteor + their 5cent text bundle. Oddly enough, I've noticed international texts are charged at the same rate... it's great!

    How are they ripping you off when they have a price list for their services?

    i use their text bundles, and am charged 12c to the uk, while this is a good price, 5c would be better.

    is it texts to the uk you're getting for 5c?
