Have you noticed that when you try to use some of those "send free text message to anyone’s mobile" services, half the time they don’t work? Well, most of them never worked for me and all I tried to do was send a text message from my computer at home to my Verizon cell phone! So I went ahead and tried out about 10 to 15 different services online and ended up with a list of ONLY 4 that actually worked. Here’s my list of sites that I use now to send text messages online to mobile phones: 1. Txt2day.com - Easy as heck to use, simply enter you 10 digit number, email (optional), your provider, and the text message. The reason this service is one of my favorite is for two reasons: First, if you’re sending a message to someone and you don’t know their wireless provider, you can lookup the provider based on the phone number and secondly, if someone starts to spam you using the service, you can have your number blocked so you don’t get any messages from that number. 2. Google Send To Phone - With Google’s service, you can actually count on it working. It’s very simple to use and works well. It unfortunately does not have the options like txt2day, but at least it works. However, unlike txt2day, you can install an extension for IE and Firefox to send messages directly from your browser! 3. SMS Everywhere - This is by far the simplest of all the text message sending services. All you have to fill out is the number and a message! The cool thing about his service which is an advantage over the other two is that you don’t have to know the provider at all, it figures it out for you! That’s pretty great in my book! Simply put in the number, type your message and you’re done! 4. Text’em - This service has no clear advantage over the other services and actually requires more steps, i.e. Provider, email address, security code, etc, but at least it works! All of these services are for the United States only, meaning you can only send text messages to US cell phones. Of course, you can only SEND for free, the person who receives them will be charged for incoming text messages depending on their plan. Also, if you have an Internet-enabled device such as an iPhone, etc, you can launch these sites from the mobile browser. However, some may not work, so you can check out an application from txtDrop.com that lets you install a iPhone app for sending text messages from your iPhone.
