| 1119699 | 2010-07-17 02:26:00 | found this site http://www.smsfun.com.au ive been using it to txt a mate who moved to oz instead of wasting 50c each message there is a limit of 28 txt a day [edit: posting referral links whereby you are gaining personal benefits from directing traffic to that website is against the forum rules] |

| 1119701 | 2010-07-17 04:37:00 | I was thinking that, the site looked a bit cluttered and full of little quirks to get people to join. but hey I might be wrong | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1119702 | 2010-07-17 05:32:00 | I don't like the fact that the OP quoted "www.smsfun.com.au rather than "http://www.smsfun.com.au". Perhaps there is some sort of referral service going on? I may be wrong, of course. |

| 1119703 | 2010-07-17 08:55:00 | As Arnie says.... there is always a catch! Couple things to note from somewhere within their TOS... To use this service you need a valid mobile number & SMSFun account in one of the countries supported If SMSFun detects that you have a PSMS (premium sms) block on your mobile account with your provider, SMSFun may opt to cancel or suspend your account until such time as the block is removed. This does not mean you will be billed or have been in the past however it prevents abuse of our system. Other information Costs are billed to your mobile phone account by your carrier. It is your responsibility to ensure your mobile account has sufficient credit to accommodate SMSFun messages. SMSFun takes no responsibility for any misuse or over-subscribing to services of members. If you are under 16 years of age you must have the bill payers permission to subscribe to any SMSFun services. Special note to members under 16 years of age or where others pay their mobile account/bill While legally you may not be required to pay your mobile bill, your parent or guardian definitely is. SMSFun logs every request for content, membership, pictures, server and database query with ip, geo-ip and proxy detection features. Should any charges be disputed by the bill payer, SMSFun reserves the right to persue the user via legal and civil avenues for moneys owed, damages, legal costs and ongoing hardship to SMSFun from any false or misrepresented claims arising from any disputed matter So they obviously make their money from the premium sms that they send you... |
