[Q] Looking for a free international texting app - General Questions and Answers

Looking for a free international texting app. 24sms irritates me since every time I get a regular text from anyone this app opens as well. I dont need that. I have the whatsapp app and it works perfectly. But my parents do not have a smartphone and they cannot get the app.
I need to text to Cape Town South Africa for Free. It would be nice if they could reply to my message but its ok if they cant. Im am in the US.
Thanks

how to use WEB to SMS on my phone??

Ok heres my story , i have friends in Pakistan which i want to send sms's to every once in a while but since im in America international SMS's are pretty costly. I know if im sitting to my pc i can use those web to SMS sites like http://www.telenor.com.pk/services/webtosms.php but when im on my phone ( which is a touch pro and i have unlimited data so tht aint an issue) i cant load these sites as they use java and the app wont load on my phone.
My question is is there any way to get these kind of sites working , or any other way to send sms for free to pakistan ? specifically a telenor number?
Im open to any suggestions. Thanks.
Still looking for ideas please.
No one has any ideas??
If you can find out their provider's SMS email address, then you can email them and they'll receive it as a text.
For example, I'm with Bell Mobility, and their's is my 10-digit number followed by @txt.bellmobility.ca.
You can probably find it on the internet somewhere.

Well, to begin, you do not have to use specialized services to send SMS. If you use IM, most major ones (AIM, Messenger, etc) will let you send SMS too. Likewise, if you install AIM/Messenger on your phone, you can use them to send SMS to your friend too.
If I may, however, I would suggest you use Google Voice. See, GV has a neat trick which allows you to do international SMS with no extra charge (do not try it with international calling, though, as it will not work). Using Google Voice is much, much easier, doesn't require any extra programs, and work exactly like a regular SMS (so you can SMS through your phone, but send through GV instead of regular). Prior warning, though: Sending SMS through GV won't get you any extra international cost, but it will still cost you the regular SMS charge, so if you do not have texting, be careful.
I myself have not done it, but others have already, and they reported success: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=47d001a0c15f6f1e&hl=en
here in phil im using mjoy.com, i dont know if will work in ur country. sorry for my bad english.
OK i do have a GV account and have tried texting my frined with it but i dont think he gets the msgs so unfortunatly its a no go for me , from the link u posted it seems like a hit or miss kinda thing too.
That mjoy this looks intresting but its so slow still hoping there is some easy way

Have you tried using google voice? There is an sms option, it's in browser though so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

An SMS is an SMS. It doesn't matter which method is used to send it, the recipient will receive it on whatever phone they own. As mentioned above you can send it via IM, Website..etc.
Doesn't Skype have this ability?

What he's saying is that he wants a slice of the free cake I guess.
He wants to be able to send something (which costs the network operator money to send it to someone else) for free.
I guess there's nothing like that for you, sir.
I do know that certain network operators in my region (Singtel, Starhub of Singpaore and Maxis, Digi of Malaysia) allow customers to connect to their website and send a WebSMS from their own sites but there is a certain limit a day. However, this only applies to SMS sent to their customers who are on their communication network though.
maybe you can try textplus. Search for it on Market because the system doesn't allow me to post outside link 'cause i'm new user try it!
Im looking for something like text plus but in this app I can send a free sms only to usa and canada. Im looking for something what will work in UK

[Q] Free calling to the US?

I just got an invite to the Vonage Mobile app this weekend from a friend of mine. I get a bunch of invites for different apps from friends, but got told to download this because it has free calls to any US or Canadian number. I tried the MagicJack app earlier for free US calls and the quality was pretty bad.
It looks like its using VoIP for calling and they have a peer to peer service for free calls between other users. Looks like it has texting too with photo sharing.
Has anyone used this app? Is it really free to call? Seems like a lot in one app, but wondering about the free US calls....
Not tried Vonage, but Skype and Viber will do the job, just uses either Wifi or data allowance, but calls are free.

Hi guys,
My name is Tzahi and I work at Vonage mobile development center.
Yes, in addition to free app-2-app calls with great audio quality (and messaging - including photo & location sharing), we offer, for a limited time, free calls to any number in the US, Canada or Puerto Rico.
Why don't you give it a try and let us know what you think?
If you have any questions or comments, I'll be happy to assist.
Enjoy our app!

Dude, what company would give you SMS for free? Every company wants to gain money, they won't throw their money in the faces from their users.
Send from my blazing fast Nexus⁴
Wouldn't handcent or something similar work over WiFi for SMS only? You could turn data off and use WiFi when available. No MMS though over WiFi
I cannot hold on,
I will not let go
Google voice anyone? Unlimited and free texts as long as you're connected to the net. Don't think it does MMS though, but who needs that when every phone is connected to the net. Just email.
