Hi All,
         Just found this site - http://www.text4calls.co.uk/
         Basically, send texts & make free international calls.  :)
       Have not tried this myself, please let others know if texts are free & from which network.

Regards, niceguy

the word "real" is quite interesting.

SO people, make sure you send good stories. - be creative!!!

I checked the FAQ but no mention of T-mobile being excluded.
Tried to register and it says that this network is not supported. I'm just wondering if these guys are trying to collect email addresses?

Anybody else tried to register?

Hello,

I just had a look and the network open currently are O2 and Tesco.

I'm testing it right now from O2, will check later to see if it's chargeable text or not.

Best regards,

I have registered 02 is supported I'm on 02 sent text messages to the numbers for expample text containg 'how is the weather' send real text no spam it did not add any credits can people tell me dose it work for anyone else who are on 02 and Tesco mobile that are supported.

any text messages to Guernsey, Isle of man and Channel island are inclusive on 02 and Tesco and also any network who use 02 VPN so its free no charge.

I have just registered for the service. Unfortunately, it currently only supports O2 and Tesco Mobile.

Can someone please tell me if it works as I registered I'm on 02!i tryed sending texts its not working

I sent one text this morning as trial and on the website now it's showing I've 20 sec of International calling available which means you get 1 minute calling time for 5 text messages. So I guess it's working on O2. I am waiting for my bill to be updated to make sure this is not chargeable.

Maybe the texts you sent did not contain the actual word that was specified. Did you include the right word?

I feel its not worth. So much hassle.

I quite agree. Considering several available good services, any effort spent to use this service is next to a waste of time!

Hi,
Can you please help me by giving details of ''several available good services'' which you mentioned in your post. I am looking for services to make free calls to India.
Thanks

As previously mentioned, there are many services available to make free calls to India. Some of these services had previously been mentioned on this forum. I would advise you to scan through the forum.

Hi,
I have been successfully using this service for many months on EE. It's a genuine top up service I suppose.

I do agree with you...it's a genuine text top up service and it works well, but it involves a lot of hassle sending 100 text messages daily.

You have to compose and send different messages to all the top up numbers. You cannot repeat the same sentences, because if you do so, your account will not be credited and it will count as part of your daily allowance. It takes a lot of patience to actually complete the daily quota.

Since the advent of text top up services for making calls,  this is about the most cumbersome hence impractical, that I've seen.  That's probably why no network will bother wasting their time to block it!
