I'm currently using ipipi.com and its very good. It might drop one out of 75 messages, and they usually go through instantly. It is however a paid service and the price depends on how many message credits you buy at a time. You do get a few free credits to try your destination.

I was using Yahoo Messenger about a year ago and it was good at the time. After a particular date, it was no longer getting through. I presume they were not paying somebody in the right place (CAT?) and got shut down or blocked.

IPIPI probably gives Shin Corp a cut of each message's fee. :o

Its apparently based in the US and fees are quoted on USD.

I too have used ipipi.com when I was back in the States to SMS my TGF.

My mobile with ATTWireless would not get an SMS through.

I found them to be an excellent service.

The one time I had a problem/question, I emailed for help,

and the response was timely and attentive; problem solved quickly.

I don't recall any messages not getting through.

Yes it is a paid service, but very reasonable.

I've only had the claim of one ipipi sms message not getting through. And it could easily have been a brain spasm on her part. :o

While last in Thailand, as an experiment, I sent my own 1-2-Call number an SMS from the local internet cafe. I had the SMS before the confirmation page could load in the web browser.

Very quick.

They must have a server gateway somewhere IN Thailand.

but this one looks very good

http://www.siamzone.com/mobile/sms.php

could someone in BKK try this one to see if it works ok by SMSing to their own phone or maybe a girls phone

thanks

Just been trying this for 10 minutes. It doesn't work.

I asked my girlfriend which website to use for sending SMS and she replied "nothing works!"

A year or so ago I used ICQ for sending SMS messages in Thailand and it worked fine at that time. I don't know if it still works.

Had alook at ipipi but in common with every other 'free' sms offer, in this case their 'few' trial sms (2) do not enable you to compose a message and anyway couldn't send it to an optusnet phone in australia without buying credits, the runaround, I wonder what further 'tricks' lurk once units have been purchased?

I found sms.ac a stitch up I couldn't work out how to send an email outside UK and they would be sending useless textmessages to you for which they were charging about 50p each.

I would steer well clear of this web site as they have charged you a couple of quid (from your mobiles credit) before you realise whats happenned but would be interested to be corrected if I have got it wrong.

ipipi seems to work when you pay according to other members and its charges are reasonable less than half of sending an international SMS from a Tesco (!!!) mobile in the uk.

I was looking for free SMS for so long and never found any - in the end I gave up and settled for cheaper than my mobile phone network (ORANGE-UK).

I stumbled upon this site - http://www.wayn.com - it is not a dedicated sms site, but it is one of the services it offers - you get 5 free credits when you sign up, and after that the credits are quite reasonable, and the best thing is you make the SMS look like it came from your phone.

Never had an issue with this service - send messages to 5 TG's with this

JUst checked out Wayne no sign of five free credits when you sign up but double credits when you first purchase if you upgrade to full membersip GBP5.

Yahoo Messenger? Are you sure? Why don't they extend that service to Yahoo Mail then? All they offer is WAP access to read mail - but that doesn't give you an alert when you receive a new mail.

Anyone spotted an online website that allows SMS to thai mobile phones ?

There are two that work, one to AIS/One2call mobiles, the other to DTAC/HappyDprompt

www.ais900.com/gsmweb/

or

http://203.170.228.139/gsmweb/

https://sonic2.tac.co.th/bp3/bin/TermOfService?lang=E

First one, the receiver pays.

The second, you receive 50 free messages per month.

I can't be bothered to explain how it all works. let's hope you can work it out by yourselves. (-;
