Top 15 Sites To Send Free SMS

Short messaging service, popularly known as SMS is
the quickest way to deliver your message. Despite of
its usefulness, the mobile service providers are less
interested in decreasing the cost of sending an SMS,
instead they are reducing cost of voice calls (which is
essential too!). Keeping the high costs of sms ’s in mind
as well as the requirements of people with no access
to their mobile phone (in offices, etc), i have compiled
a list of sites with which you can send free sms to
almost all the countries around the world. Before you
read on about free sms sites, please keep in mind that
the sites allowing you to send free sms are based on
advertising model i.e they may or may not attach an
AD with your message. And DONT use these
services in case of emergencies. So, here goes the
list:
1. Yakedi
First of all Yakedi is available only for the residents of
australia. So, if you are not an Australian then skip
this one and read about the next site. Yakedi is the
best site to send SMS to Australian and New Zealand
users. It provides fast delivery of messages and has a
user friendly interface.
2. Gizmosms
Gizmo is known for its voip calling. Not many know
that it also provides free sms ’ing. What i liked about
GizmoSMS is that you can send free sms to any
number worldwide without even signing up for the
service (Though you ’ll get only 80 characters).
3. Sendsmsnow
It is also an ad based free service which requires
users to sign up at the website before sending free
SMS to (individual) mobile numbers worldwide. Other
than providing free sms ’es, it also provides the feature
of organizing phonebooks, groups and replies.
4. Wadja
Wadja is yet another online free SMS service provider
which lets its users to send 80 character SMS to
almost anywhere in world (200 countries). What i like
most about wadja is its delivery speed when sending
international messages and its mobile portal, which
really comes in handy.
5. Google sms channel
Google sms channel is more of a sharing service than
a sms service. You need to create a sms channel and
all those who are subscribed to that channel will
receive the sms i.e you can send them free sms (and
not to anyone else). It is a great way to share jokes,
etc with friends.
6. Way2SMS
Way2sms is probably the only service that allows its
user to send a sms of upto 140 Characters for free to
any mobile number in India. Moreover, you can
check status of your sent messages and save mobile
numbers in itâ €™s inbuilt address book. All these
facilities are covered by displaying lots (and i mean
LOTS) of advertisement on their web portal which
makes it tacky. But nevertheless, its a free sms
service.
7. 160by2
This is one of my favourite site for sending free sms
to any mobile in india. Similar to other free sms
providers, it also runs on ads attached to sms. But the
best part is ads are most of time relevant (and
sometimes useful too!). Other than that, the site also
provides an inbuilt address book, ready made sms for
different occasions and a java application for mobile
phone ’s.
8. SMS7.in
Using SMS7 you can send free SMS upto 440
Characters to any GSM/CDMA Mobile Number in
India. You can also scheduled SMS. What catches the
eye is fast delivery of sms along with accurate
delivery reports.
9. Atrochatro
It is a free sms sending service which doesn’t require
registration for the same (number of sms are limited
for unregistered users). I have used this service for a
while and didn ’t find its delivery time and sometimes
the messages weren’t delivered at all.
10. IndyaRocks
It is a social networking website and free sms is just
one small feature it provides to its registered members
all over the world. One unique service provided by
this website is that of Group SMS service, you can
send a SMS to all your friends at the same time with
just a click.
11. Text4Free
It is a free SMS & MMS Sending service, featuring
tools to add free sms sending to myspace, SMS
sending to over 100 countries all over the world.

Besides the one’s mentioned above, there are a
number of sites that provide free sms. However, the
ones mentioned here are tried and tested sites. I am
