Cheaper Text Messages with Tex2

Thursday, May 11, 2006

If you find text messages to be excessively expensive then there is a new novel cheaper text message solution that has been developed by Tex2. The service works by installing their software on your cell phone and on the cell phone of the person you want to text. You can then text that person for a fraction of the cost. For example if you sent 6 messages a day and each message cost 10c each then you would save $17 a month by using the Tex2 cheaper text messages service.

Tex2 is completely free to sign up with but you do need to have a GPRS cell phone to use the technology. Text messages are approx. 20 times cheaper than regular messages. It is very simple to setup and can be done in five minutes. Then once setup on your cell phone you simply go to the Tex2 menu to send you text messages. The service is designed for use with UK cell phones.
