Thats just VERY weird.. Earlier today I had to quickly send someone an SMS, couldn't use the phone so grabbed a random link from google. Same site!

Seemed fine to me though, didn't get around to signing up fully though cause they came on MSN instead heh

It costs 50p to recieve the text and it's free to send the text, so it's a bit of a crock.

 

[<RJMC>]

so its safe?

 

[StardogChampion]

They probably store the numbers you're sending the message to then spam them or sell them.

 

[<RJMC>]

so is not free?

 

[StardogChampion]

From looking at that site, it seems free...

yeah my friend received an invitation to this earlier today, I have gotten them b4 but just ignore them

I used to use such sites all the time when I was younger. I have absolutely NEVER had any problems with them (except the fact that you can't send as many messages per day as you'd like :E). Good thing is that they do not cost the sender anything. So I prefer them over doing it from the cellphone. Never heard of any site who charges people for recieving them. That can't be right can it?

 

[baron insig]

well gmail puts them in the spam box so i dont trust it

plus it said steph garminallo signed up and watns you to sign up to it in the subject however there is a slight problem of me not knowing someone by that name

like united kingdoms is ".co.uk"

the .co isn't part of the United Kingdom domain name bit.
i.e. ac.uk would be in the UK (an academic establishment in the UK).


FYI. All country codes are taken from the abbreviations used at the United Nations, except the UK, where their abreviation is GB.

 

[switch]

.ac is for Ascension Island (http://www.ascension-island.gov.ac/ascension.htm)

As for the website, personally I have never heard of it and i am too lazy to read through the terms and conditions.
