TextCanada.ca - Send Free Text Messages to Canadian Phones!

[kjmz]

Hey everyone,

I found a great new website where you can send text messages for free to Canadian phones! I tried it yesterday and it works really good, it's pretty fast too. It's a pretty nice looking site too.

Check it out: http://www.textcanada.ca

Welcome to RFD?

Anyway, be cautious. This could put your friend/family member on a sms spam list... recommended for people you don't like

I think - at least, for all of the providers I've tried - you can send text messages to their customers.

For example:
Bell - http://www.txt.bellmobility.ca/bmc/en/
Rogers - http://www.rogers.com/english/wireless/sendpcs.html
Fido - http://www.fido.ca/portal/web2fido/compose.do
Telus - http://www.telusmobility.com/sendame...amessage.shtml

15cents/message to receive probably still applies. Its free to SEND, not to receive.

Depends on which provider. I don't pay anything to receive (and no, I don't have an unlimited text messaging plan).

you have that the other way around, at least for Rogers

nope. AFAIK for rogers it's free to receive (or 2000 per month limit for rogers) and 10 or 15 cents to send from the phone. Sending through their website is completely free.

I have got Fido. If I knew it was free I would of gone with Rogers. O well.

better go directly to the provider. Don't risk putting your friend's # on SMS SPAM list.
