Tips
SMS (short message service) can be expensive. My carrier charges 15 cents a message…incoming or outgoing. Before I signed on a contract with built in messaging, I would wake up and hope that no one would text me so I can save a few cents a day. Even with my current plan, I am always careful of the messages I send and monitor my text message limit regularly.
For those who do not have unlimited Text Messaging, here is a great way to save on one half your text bill. Send outgoing text messages via email.
Sprint – phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon – phonenumber@vtext.com
T-Mobile - phonenumber@tmomail.com
AT&T – phonenumber@txt.att.net
AIM – +1phonenumber
In place of ‘phonenumber’ put the person’s mobile number and send out the email. Make sure to abide by the text message limits or you’ll get something like this…
I want to tell you something important I have terminal
– what they get
I want to tell you something important I have terminal problems at the airport and will be late.
– what you meant to say.
