Californiaman Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 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. Dear Members,We are rolling out the second beta test of our SMS Gateway (BETA 2). Sign up here for your free SMS account (Int'l and Thai SMS).

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.

meadish_sweetball Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
