Razer Megasoma Review

Razer Megasoma is a hybrid of a hard and a soft mouse mat; If you love the softness of a soft mat but want to have the speed of a hard mat, Razer Megasoma delivers (this is debatable and I guess more like a personal preference). Razer Megasoma sits somewhere in between, combining the best [...]

Australian Free SMS Sites







by Michael Aulia on 25 October, 2007

in Freebies & Deals



These are some of the free SMS sites that I’ve used or currently using. They are Australian-based and can only send to Australian recipients at the moment.

SMSPup

SMSPup

Sending one SMS will cost you 1 point. You earn points by clicking an email ads that they send you periodically (usually once a day or every several days). You need to send the SMS from their site only.

Address Book: Yes
Ads: Yes (link to their site at the end of your SMS)
Sender:
Your mobile number


FreeSMSMate

FreeSMSMate

Gives you 5 free SMSes daily. It will auto-refresh back to 5 free SMS every day. You can get further free SMSes by joining their promotions on the site.

Address Book:
Yes
Ads:
Yes (link to their site at the end of your SMS)
Sender:
Your mobile number


MotoCrew

MotoCrew (motocrew.com.au – links no longer working)

Gives you 50 free SMSes weekly. However, if there are too many people sending SMSes at a given time, you need to wait for half an hour for the “pool” to be refreshed/emptied.

Address Book:
Yes, but only allows to save 10 numbers.
Ads: Yes (the sender is from ‘Motocrew’)
Sender:
“Motocrew”, so the SMS can’t be replied to your number directly.


Youtext

Youtext.com.au

After logging in, type in a number, your message, and then send. Fast and easy! I’m not sure what’s the limit of daily SMS that you can send per day, although I’ve heard it’s 5 SMS per number.

Address Book: No address book feature yet.
Ads:
Yes (link to their site at the end of your SMS)
Sender:
Your mobile number.


Conclusion

usually use FreeSMSMate until I’ve wasted all of the SMS, and then start using the other ones. With SMSPup, you can just accumulate the points (by receiving the ads email and clicking them to get 1 point) until you need extra SMSes.Check out my blog about Letxt as well here (they offer free 5 SMS per day (and not just to Australian mobile numbers).

MOTOcrew does say the sender is ‘MOTOcrew’, but if you hit reply on your phone it will go back to the mobile number of the person who sent the message.

I’ve tried a few of these services and MOTOcrew is the only one I’ve actually gone back to. They don’t send you spam emails and SMS to earn points or anything like that. And yeah, sometimes you have to wait for a few mins for the next ‘pool’ of free SMS, but i’ll take that over crappy advertising being thrown at me any day.

Letxt looks kind of cool too, will have to check it out thanks for the info!

Hey, what happened to Motocrew? Haven’t needed it for some time, and now I try to log in the site soesn’t seem to exist anymore. Have they packed up for good, then?

I think so. The only free SMS for Australians I know is just Yakedi at the moment.

MySMS 3 September, 2009 at 10:44 pm

I think there may be some limit of sending the messages for free as mostly sites follows this.

I haven’t used it for long so I’m not sure whether they are still free. Yakedi.com is still free although you can only send 3 sms per day
