Sending texts via My T-mobile on the web

[Guest DancingMatt]

Hi

I heard that if you log into the My T-mobile part of T-mobile's site, you can send texts to any mobile from there for free.

So on a Web & Walk tariff, with 40Mb data, this would save on me buying texts right? Although I admit it's not as convenient as doing it directly on the Wizard.

Haven't registered with My T-mobile (or even got my Vario yet ) so that's why I'm asking - what's the deal with texting from there then?

I believe that to use the T-Mobile website you have to log in, and that the SMS messages you send are deducted from your call plan.

You need a free internet>sms gateway. There are some around, I found this one, but haven't tried it:

Ok, there are a few choices. You can pre-buy a pack of messages from an outfit like this lot:http://www.intellisoftware.co.uk/

The HTTP interface would be easy to use, as you could setup a URL on each of your contacts. However, the savings will be marginal on T-Mobile's own packages.

The other option is to use a totally free service like this one: http://www.cbfsms.com/

But then you have to :shock: remember people's phone numbers :shock:
