I didn't even know you could do it. I put my money in to make a call and it said "Hit OK for SMS" and I thought, ok Why not. I sent one and it worked.

Way cool and cost 20 cents :)

where bouts?

wow =)

ive never even sent an SMS from anywhere!

Cool and before you know it you'll be sending 3 times the amount of sms's because they are half the cost ;D

ive never used sms but then i don't have a mobile... but it will be good if one day you can send ppl sms's from an internet connection basically like email i guess.

sms is very good, quick and easy :D

yeah can send sms via the internet.. icq can do it :D

more info on internet sms? i used to do it with this website, but they shut down.

if you are with optus, their webSMS service is:

www.info2you.com.au

get ICQ

got to "Services"

Then SMS, enter the number, and type a message.

It only works with a particular network tho, Telstra I think.

But yeah, free to send, but costs the mobile user to reply.

kind of gay that it only works on certain networks

bah, id rather some free s*** than none :\

icq can message vodaphone too.

ICQ can message all networks now. It was originally only Vodafone, but now all networks work, well Telstra, Optus and Vodafone anyway.

ah good ol' ICQ, its so handy and far much better than its opponent msn and aim etc.

if you know the right number you can send an sms phone that has dial tone. but it will cost local call.

It was a telstra pay phone near town. The one next to it however didn't have the feature, yet was the same fone.

how do u set it up etc (icq that is) for sms?

You don't do squat. ICQ--->Services---->Send SMS Message--->Insert Number (take away the 0 at start and don't put anything in area code box just select Australia)---->Type message ----> click send.

mongs
use msn..msn can send sms to telstra and voda..

u have to get account..put ur number in

and u can just chat normally..
like using msn. right click..send sms to phone.

its soo much easier

enter the person's mobile number in their details *important when you enter the number drop the 0 from the start of the number..then it really depends on the version of icq you have..in older versions you click their name and then goto sms message, and in newer versions such as icq lite you can just use the checkbox at the bottom of the message box...btw trillian also integrates sms into it's features as well so now you have no excuse to pay for sms if you are at home!

msn does sms but it is for vodafone only icq covers all three networks, not only that vodaphone charges the reciever of an msn sms an arm and two legs....AVOID!

How do you send it from a payphone, do you just speak and it puts it into writing or something, or do you type it like normal on the pay phone.

oh and btw trillian uses a chatbox so it s***s all over msn....again....

You type it exactly as you would on a mobile phone. Using the numbers that correspond with the letters you want.

EXACTLY like a sms from a mobile. But at a payphone!

Yeah but dont u have to pay extra to use the sms feature on msn messenger?

Giving credit card number out on the internet = bad :p

msn + sms = $$$$$$

icq + sms = :)

trillian icq + sms = win :D

icq now sends to vodaphone, telstra and optus mobile phones only works for digital.. not for cdma

u can also icq people on optus if they used to have like vodafone or telstra and changed to optus but kept their number

what network number/area code do u use for australian networks in the ICQ thing?

+61

i didnt have to enter the area code, just the country.
Well it works, this will save me some money.

didnt work for me :(

im on optus prepaid...., bastards :(

what do you put in network# (this is from icq2go)

how do you send them from trillian? like where to go =/

trillian sucks bollocks
