- New Guide To Free SMS Launches: www.TextMeFree.com

Now anyone can send text messages to mobile phone (cell phone)

users anywhere in the world, absolutely free. A new UK website has

just been launched that provides a guide to free Short Message

Service (SMS) providers. TextMeFree.com has details of popular

free UK Internet services like Lycos Free SMS in its directory, as

well as over 40 other free services. It allows people to literally

send text messages around the world. So now anyone with Internet

access can share in the fun of sending text messages. No cost. No

need of a mobile phone. And no need to depend on busy SMS providers.

- Sending Text Messages Is Fun

Sending SMS text messages is very popular with owners of SMS-enabled

mobile phones. (An estimated 29 million messages are sent each day

in the UK alone.) SMS has quietly become the fastest-growing mobile

data service, easily outperforming the much-hyped but disappointing

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) service. "People like to text!

It's easy and fun," said Steve Nash, the creator of TextMeFree.com .

- Sending Text Messages Is Free

As text messaging has grown, so too have the online services that

provide free text messaging (free SMS). This is because sending

messages by mobile phone costs a few pence per message. Send a lot

of messages and the costs soon mount up. Also, sending messages

is much quicker when you use a computer keyboard AND it is easy to

send messages anonymously or secretly or both.

Free SMS providers often add a short advertisement to each message

that is sent. And some services require membership. Otherwise,

sending text messages is genuinely free. However, providing free SMS

is expensive, so some providers are simply unable to continue

offering it, forcing their users to find another service.

- Textmefree.Com Combines Fun With Free With Available

TextMeFree.com combines the joy of texting with quick and easy

access to 40 plus free SMS providers. And if a service is busy or

unavailable then it is easy to find another one.

TextMeFree.com is a Yahoo-style directory organised in broad

regional categories. It provides details of each SMS service

(where known). These details include:

* maximum length of text message you can send

* registration requirements, if any

* number of messages that can be sent each day, and

* user-ratings of each service.

With new services constantly being added, TextMeFree.com is a great

place to start for anyone wanting to send free text messages.

"Particularly useful is the fact that you don't have to rely on

the popular services that often get busy!" continued Steve Nash.

"And NOW you can send text messages to your friends and family

in other countries too."
