A)Free Text Messaging IN NEW ZEALAND!!!

96824 2002-11-07 08:37:00 well i use icq (download from icq.com)
and it gives u 15 free texts per day (every 24 hours) to ANYWHERE in the world at ANY TIME..

And if u have a vodafone cellphone, u can get 5 free texts from the vodafone.co.nz website..

i dont know if this works, but www.sms.ac is a website, i think they have slapped charges on here now thou...but give it a go..

96828 2002-11-07 09:17:00 install icq from www.icq.com. u can txt normal as well as SMS.
Voda website does 5 i think for free per day then charges u on ur airtime. it actually bills u (contract) or pulls money out (prepay) so watch out if u go over 5 a day. this does i think least 15 a day, i doh tihink u can get unlimited. well just msn or icq normal can do it 24hr a day if needed between 2 computers and macs, palms, pocket pc, nokia 9210. u get the drift.


can also use icq online edition, i have not tried thou..
also, this www.sms.ac

96829 2002-11-08 03:11:00 Hmmm ... there's talk in Vodafone about stopping the 5 free per day from their website. :(
By the way, for those of you who wish to create havoc, sign up with a login name like "admin" or "security" or "mailadmin". You'll end up with an email address of "admin@vodafone.net.nz", etc that can be accessed from www.vodafone.net.nz (www.vodafone.net.nz) by clicking the Message link. ]:) Your welcome. ;)

Also, I have seen demonstrated with ICQ (a while ago) a method of bypassing the 15 SMS limit.
Try and txt/sms normally, when the "you have exceeded...." message pops, click OK or whatever to close that window, then click "Send" again on the txt window. May take 2 or 3 goes, but the txt will finally send.

96830 2002-11-08 03:25:00 Yeah, I use ICQ and Vodafone.

I dont use ICQ, If anything I might use ICQ lite... But I just goto http://www.icq.com and click on Send SMS!

No software to download!!!

Yay :p
