| 120100 | 2003-02-10 20:57:00 | Hi - me again! The other day I wrote in asking if anyone else had missed thegooey, which was a site where you could txt cell phones from your comp. The site is gone now, but I found a sort've replacement (for the txting at least) at djuice.com This is a Telecon site from where you can txt to cell phones (Not Vodafone asyet - which is a pain, 'cos thegooey could...) Thought it might be of interest to someone. Toodles Lynne Hawkins |

| 120101 | 2003-02-10 21:02:00 | Ive had a look there, but they dont have a phone model that I have. Ive got a Sony Erricson T206 which telecom have been doing a lot of advertising for. Is it free when you've signed up though? Try vodafone.co.nz for txting to 021's, or ICQ gives you twice as many a day as vodafone (10) and they can be sent right from ICQ (I use ICQ Lite!)

| 120102 | 2003-02-10 21:09:00 | It's 20 cents a message and I haven't come across a daily limit (is that what you're referring to when you mentioned ICQ allows twice as much as Vodafone?) Lynne :-) |

| 120103 | 2003-02-10 21:10:00 | The day telecom lets people get text to their phones without someone paying somewhere is the day their techs overlooked something. Vodafone seem to let all the text messaging sites, ICQ_sms etc through. They know that sometimes people reply, and thus they get something out of it. Telecom have a more narrow veiw. I looked at Djuice... seems to be a way to send text from puter, and have it charged to your own phone. Please correct me if i am wrong. .Clueless |

| 120104 | 2003-02-10 21:16:00 | yep - gets charged to the phone number you register with - I paid the same for the service from thegooey as well, but you could send faxes, get the phone to ring you at a set time to remind you of appointments (txt to speech), use the site for backing up important data - had an address book, calandar...all the goods - it had heaps of great features. Lynne :-) |

| 120105 | 2003-02-11 04:15:00 | Uh, new phones can do just about everything you're saying 'thegooey' could do. They have calendars, you can set them to use a certain ring tone when you have an appointment coming up, and with the phone that runs Palm OS, you can do even more, including backing up important data. Oh, and didn't know that ICQ had a limit per day, or does it only tell you if you reach that limit? I use ICQ Pro 2003a... screw older versions. |

| 120106 | 2003-02-11 06:08:00 | agent, ICQ lets you know by telling you you have gone over the limit and cannot send anything new till tommorow. .Clueless |

| 120107 | 2003-02-11 06:45:00 | LimeSMS (http://www.limesms.com) is another 'text from the net' website. Seems cool, you get 12 credits (ie one sms) each day, and must use those 12 credits by the end of the day. The credits dont build up each day... Just another option, if your preferred website is down, or you have gone over your daily limit. |

| 120108 | 2003-02-11 10:54:00 | Hmmmm... has nobody heard of mtnsms? It's free of charge but the off-shoot of that is you lose quite a bit of txt space (only 122 char allowed) because the message is followed by an mtnsms message to get the recipient to sign-up as well. But nonetheless, it's free of charge, and you can setup an online phone book as well. Go to: http://www.mtnsms.com |
