Australian Free SMS Sites

4th September 2007
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
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
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
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.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

I 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).
