Is there a free/cheap application that allows you to send sms messages over the internet. Also, if there is, does it allow you to receive sms messages from a cell phone?
Yes you can send sms messages and mms messages from opera and from any email program for example using outlook by going to www.power2text.com the cost per message varies depending on how many messages you buy as they are geared towards businesses doing bulk messaging. The system does allow replies to a mobile if you set your mobile number in your preferences screen on their website. I have been using them for the last ten years for my company and message reliability is the best we have seen. Tech support is available for free and at most times of day 365 days of the year and is always friendly. They arent the cheapest but we had endless trouble with cheaper companies with messages not being delivered. Powert2text messages always get through. You will need to sign up though and prepay before you can use the system.
Skype
I read recently that Skype for mobile can do free SMS though I haven't tried it.

I just got my phone about a month and was looking at my first bill and saw that there was 11 dollars worth of text messages on it and i have never received a text or sent one. I do however use parlingo, but i was using beejive, do either of these programs use text messaging? Or could it be that i have email setup on my phone inside the tf3d tab?
ims count against texts
All IMS? I thought that there are programs that strictly use the nets bandwidth instead of ims services..? Does anyone know of such apps?
IM+ uses the internet and the IMs don't count as text messages.
Palringo does not count as text messages; it relies entirely on your data connection. The default instant messaging program that comes with the AT&T stock ROM is the one that uses text messages.
I have never used BeeJive, but it seems to be that most third-party instant messaging programs rely on data. Palringo gets my vote in any case. The functionality is good and it's free.
Other than that, I don't know why you would be getting charged. The E-mail tab definitely does not use texts: it is just a fancy and somewhat inefficient way to display your inbox(es) from Pocket Outlook. Your bill should display the phone number of every incoming/outgoing text, if that helps you track down the problem. You may need to request a "comprehensive" bill or whatever it is, since AT&T started mailing super-condensed bills after the iPhone data fiasco.
I was using Beejive and noticed that chats sent trhough it were being counted as text messages. However, I now use Parlingo and that is not the case. Parlingo FTW!
I just signed up for a data plan and am trying to figure out a way to send text messages via data without signing up for a $20 texting plan.
Here is the following options I have come up with
-Use web2mail and send email texts to people. Although this is quite annoying because people say they recieve a new text every time i respond (doesnt come up as one conversation)
-Sign into AOL instan messanger and text people through that. But this kills my batterylife.
-There is an app called mjoy. www.mjoy.com I havent tried it yet, but am considering it.
are there any other options? any java apps or anything that can be used to send text messages?
thanks
ps I have an ATT Fuze.
RE: free sms texing via data?
please just get texting plan.
AIM uses both texts/data.
and is it really worth it to go thru hassle to text friends/family to save 10 to 20 bucks?
and hassling friends/family to get random messages from websites and whatnot?

About 10 seconds on google man. I'm not going to call you a jerk, but I'm seriously considering it.
People that post questions without doing any research are really a drag.
Yeh - I had the same question.
As it stands, I'm using my email to send texts... but cumbersome at time. Especially when I don't know the persons provider. Anyhow, I saw that the Iphone/Itouch had an app that used Google's SMS feature called Infinite SMS... it got pulled back. Similarly, there is another Iphone/Itouch Textfree and Textfree Lite that sends texts via data, but not using Google's SMS.
I'm not a developer, but I guess if it could be done on the Iphone, then is it possible that it can be done on WM?
I am not associated with this company or app.
I only have a data plan, and hated to get text plan. I found this application, it assigns you a US phone number, and you can than send and receive SMS/text without text plan.
I have used this for past 2 days, so far it is working great.

Receive SMS Online for FREE
On this aplication you will find some numbers you can send SMS text messages to and the messages will show up on the aplication.
The phone numbers used on this aplication are not special numbers that charge more or have fees. It is like sending a message to a regular phone. The number is for most users an international number and the price you pay depends on your phone company so it is best to check with them for specific price. But SMS messages are really cheap from most phone companies and sending it internationally should not cost more than perhaps $0.2 per message, but again your phone company has the prices. This aplication does not charge or get any money from people sending sms messages to it.
Reload the list of SMS (click on button Update) to see new messages. A message will be shown here in less than 1 second after it is received. All messages that are received are shown and nothing is blocked. However some services on the web puts in limitations. Such as limits on the number of accounts that can be used with a particular phone number.
