| 160861 | 2003-07-18 11:07:00 | How do I send (free?) short text messages to a mobile phone from my computer? Cheers |

| 160862 | 2003-07-18 11:10:00 | You can only text to 021 and if you have ICQ you can do it from there, or go to http://www.vodafone.co.nz and go to web text, and you can send 5 free ones from there daily. :) | supergran (108) | ||
| 160863 | 2003-07-18 11:10:00 | Vodafone have a bit on their website where you can sign-in and send web2sms messages and they appear to come from your phone - ie: your mobile number is displayed as the sender. However this is limited to 10 free messages per day. ICQ also has this ability - send 10 free SMS Messages per day, and you even get your own ICQ number which you can send messages to on your phone and they pop up in ICQ. CyberChuck |

| 160866 | 2003-07-18 12:35:00 | I thought ICQ did 15 a day?? | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 160867 | 2003-07-18 19:41:00 | I think ICQ varies . . . just as chris said, he's sent 24 messages so far - sometimes i've been able to send more than 15 (or whatever the limit is), and sometimes i've only been able to send less than that . Just out of curiosity - how does ICQ know when we have reached the limit for the 'day'? Does ICQ use our computer's clock? or their server's clock? Like, if I was limited to 15 messages in one 'day', and used all that up before 12am, could i carry on sending messages after 12am? because according to OUR (nz) time, a new 'day' starts after 12am . . . |

I would assume that it uses the servers clock because otherwise I could just speed up time on my computer and have access to several more free SMS Messages |
