| 342919 | 2005-04-08 15:53:00 | Can anyone recommend a good service for sending SMS messages from your computer? I used to use SMSPOP (run by MTN in South Africa) but they closed it down as of the end of last month. I'm not looking for a bulk SMSer, just a system for sending messages to one or two people at a time. Ideally it would be a downloadable client which you could leave running on your desktop (not a web inetrface), and allow two way messaging (so the recipient can select reply on they cellphone and send a message back). SMSPOP used to cost around $15 for 100 messages and worked perfectly for me - but they said it wasn't making any money so should it down. They only alternative I have tried so far is Clickatell but it is more aimed at bulk SMSing and has a horrible interface to the client software. Any suggestions? |

| 342921 | 2005-04-09 08:04:00 | It doesn't need to be a free service - I'm quite prepared to pay for something the works worldwide (NZ, Oz, South Africa and Mozambique are the countries I'm personally interested in SMSing). I have done a search on google and found a few services that are available, and most of the IMs seem to have a paid services to send messages to cellphones, I was just trying to avoid having to register with them all for a demo to find out how good they are and what are their limitations. Really I'm looking for recommedations from anyone that uses an SMS service from their computer regularly. Peter |

| 342923 | 2005-04-11 14:10:00 | Decided to go with Clickatell as it was the only one I could find with a downloadable client (http://clickatell.com). Works out at about 7.5c per SMS. | MozamPete (4705) | ||
| 342924 | 2006-08-03 04:19:00 | I've been using Skype. Messages cost .078 Euros, which is pretty good and this way I can send them to the UK. | jcr1 (893) | ||
