You seem to have a very bad memory as you have "found" this site
before, several times!!

As usual you forget to say that it costs the receiver of the sms up to
=A35 to get the message!!

Is the receiver made aware that they have to pay this money, or does it just
get reverse-charged onto their bill?
If they get an un-solicited message for which they are charged, surely that
is illegal?? Even if the message has been sent by a well-meaning friend...

Yes, you get a simple txt that says that there is a text message for
you and it will cost =A3x to retreve it, I also think there is a way to
get the message by email or internet, but, again, you must pay for
it!!

See <http://www.cbfsms.com/>. I have no connection with or interest in
this company, but I have used their free SMS service a few times with no
complaints.

You can get it for free by posting a link to their website. Any old free
web host will do.

It sends a code to your phone with a URL to open it but you can specify
another code to read someone elses messages.

Top stuff.
