That is a shame, at least you should be able to text someone in the U.S. or perhaps elsewhere in the world.

Hi Glenn >From what I can tell, we can't send sms from email to text in Australia. How annoying. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I don't know what companies are in your country, but you can Google it.

Every phone company has an address for receiving text messages from eMail, like Verizon's is 10-digit-phone-num...@vtext.com HTH.

I downloaded it and can't get it to send text messages. Can anybody recommend a free texting app that does actually work. I'm looking for something that uses the net to send messages rather than charging me a minimal amount to send texts as I have unlimited calls and texts on my phone. It's just that typing the message is easier than sending them from my phone. Thanks for any help.
