this is the message I ALWAYS get from www.cbfsms.com/ (Send free sms
massages)
"Your ISP can no longer user our service due to abuse."
It has been like it for years. Do this service ever run at all? And another
thing, they require you stop using popup blockers etc. If you ask me, this
service is just a load of pig-shit.

Not quite. The list of providers appears to be US only.

Google is everyone's friend. String used: free Europe "Email to SMS
gateway" Of course, that's Europe only. Oh my!

There's probably little advertising revenue for providing free SMS
messaging on Intl connections.

I used this site yesterday in the UK for the first time to my own
mobile phone. It took a bit of jiggling through their website but
the SMS message arrived quite quickly. Bad news is that it had a
sig-text message attached so I guess it's got limited use.

Found this one better than cbfsms, which always seemed to be too busy,
or couldn't deliver for some or other reason.

BUT. Only 3 messages/day, and a sig message attached too.

I guess if it's free they're entitled to attach a sig message.
