Send Free Text Messages with your iPhone
Posted by: ipp in Technology, tags: Cell Phone, Freebies, Text Message
Telecom Companies are charging a ridiculous rate for SMS (text messages) especially when you already have an unlimited data plan. All a text message is, is data- correct? So, unlimited data should cover it, please let me know if/why I am wrong.
Anyways, with iPhones new 2.0 firmware it’s easier then ever to install applications. Under the app store there is a free AIM Application, just install this application and login to AIM.
From there you can create a buddy, as the screen name: just put the country code and phone number. United States country code is +1 so an example screen name would be +12223334444. You should be able to ‘IM’ that screenname 24/7 and it will send a text to the number and they can reply without your provider every knowing you sent a text!
Be aware that this will count against the individual you message if they do not have any kind of alotted (or unlimited) text messaging plan.

does this use the other persons data plan or just their text messages?
If both users have unlimited Data no one gets charge. If one has unlimited Data and the other doesn’t. Than the one that doesn’t may get charge. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Your site is great but for the love of God – ‘Then’ is time related (… and then enter …). ‘Than’ is comparative (… better than …)(… easier than …).
Again – I love the site but I couldn’t hold back anymore. Sorry.
Does this show up as my phone number when it is received by the other party? or would it show up as my name if they have it stored?
[...] ?urdaki haberde iPhones 2.0 firmware yüklü cihazlar?n?z ile App store sitesinden AIM Application isimli dosyay? indirip kuruyorsunuz ve ard?ndan ki?i listenizde, arkada?lar?n?z? eklerken uluslararas? kod da dahil olmak üzere o arkada??n?z?n telefon numaras?n? ilgili yere yaz?p bir kartvizit olu?turuyorsunuz. Sonra mesajlar?n?z? bu ?ekliyle bedava gönderebiliyormu?sunuz.. Program App Store’da ?imdilik ücretsiz indirilebiliyor, deneme ?ans?m olmad??? için sizler bunu deneyerek daha iyi ö?renebilirsiniz. Umar?m ülkemiz içinde bu mümkün olur. [...]
This hack does not always work. It’s been useless for my friends with MetroPCS service.
I tried this and it said a message could not be sent to the number i entered.
