Hi George,

How does this work? I'm planning on being in Thailand shortly after Christmas and I'm interested in this service while I'm there. Can I use my personal phone there with a Thai SMS card? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Very cool!

I'll be able to send SMS to my friend in Thailand now!

[Merlin]

how does it work?

is it for ppl in TH with TH accounts to SMS to OS, or OS ppl to SMS to TH?

is it for SMS from phone to phone, or from the web site to a phone?

The help page doesn't really explain what it's all about...

I never sign up for anything without knowing what it is! Some questions:

1. What the hel_l is SMS?

2. How does it work?

3. To contact in some way the US, it costs three credits? What does this mean?

4. Is that per minute?

5. What does a credit cost?

Please expand on these questions.

Thank you.

I did a Google search for SMS and came up with this website.

http://www.google.com/sms/

Hope this helps understanding more about SMS. I'm still learning myself.

SMS = Short Message System = what you call the text messages you send to a mobile phone. Normally, these messages are composed on one mobile phone and sent to another, but Thaivisa's service is about writing text messages on your computer and sending to a mobile phone.

Hope that clears up some of the confusion.

[Merlin]

ok so I thought I'd have a go, but it said it was sending a verify code to my phone - but nothing came through...

Verify your PIN to get free credits

Sending new PIN to <deleted>....SEND...OK

but nothing on the phone...

Thanks for the information Meadish! I tried a text message to someone I know in Khao Lak. Guess we'll see if I did the SMS correctly. Thanks again for the assist. Learning this stuff is fun.

So as others have asked: What happens when your 100 free credits run out?

Would like to see an answer to that question.

[MikeWill]

I've successfully registered, entered my PIN without a problem, and then...

Your SMS to 661xxxyyzz :

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.16-nt]SQLBindParameter not used for all parameters

/test/SMS/include/DB.inc, line 22
