Most free SMS provider out there has a catch WHICH they didn't bother to disclose to the user. I have been tricked into joining a free sms service once and to my surprise, my credits was deducted for no apparent reason. Found out from the admin that the service apply a fees to recipient and they didn't even bother to write it down in their TOS! So, its been a couple years now since then. Now, the older I am, Im thinking of launching my own free sms service. I don't like spam so I won't bother to spam my users. Members will received a free credits upon signing up. Once they runs out of credits, there is several ways to obtain them. Referring friends, posting in forum, participate in my programs, even buy bulk credits..all that entitle them to receive additional credits. So, my conclusion is..it is true some providers tricked you into something that you will regret such as spamming your mobile phone with useless junks and such..but the thing is, there is still someone (like me) who offers a decent services. Anyway, great post like always Keith. It’s true Keith. Most free SMS provider out there has a catch WHICH they didn’t bother to disclose to the user.

I have heard of other people having problems with a couple of sites (e.g. sms.ac and redalertz in the UK) but even these sites let you unsubscribe eventually. I do see what you mean, though, with regard to what happens with the numbers being used Steve PS My fave free sms is either wadja.com (worldwide) or Sheriff Ratings (UK).
