Tex2me.com launches to rival Hotxt

Link: ‘Free’ txts a go go | The Register.

Like Hotxt, Tex2 uses a mobile phone’s data connection to send messages to others in the Tex2 community by using software downloaded onto the handset. But unlike Hotxt, Tex2 doesn’t charge £1 a week for its service, although SMS messages are subject to network data charges, typically, just a fraction of a penny.

Check them out at www.tex2me.com.  I’m downloading it as I type…

i completely screwed up the installation.  I seem to have a habit of doing this.  I didn’t quite read the instructions at the start so that when it came to enter my mobile number… well it wouldn’t let me put in the whole number.  I’ll delete and re-install.  Meantime my username will be Ewan MacLeod on it. 

(I’m ewanm on Hotxt.)

UPDATE: No it wasn’t me. I think it must be my Sony Ericsson W550i … It won’t let me put in my full mobile to register.

And again: It’s fixed thanks to Stuart 😀
