			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people don&#8217;t understand the point of a Web to SMS service. Here are ten great reasons to use <a href="http://www.text4free.net">free sms</a> services online.</p>
<p><strong>10. No need to hide your phone</strong><br />
Many schools highly discourage cell phone use during class or on school grounds. Many students have access to a PC or labtop during class. Using a web to sms service eases the hassle of hiding your phone from your teacher/professor or leaving the room to use your phone.</p>
<p><strong>9. Send a message to multiple people at once</strong><br />
Some web to sms services, such as <a href="http://www.text4free.net">Text 4 Free</a>, offer you the ability to send messages to multiple people at once. I&#8217;ve personally used this to plan parties or gatherings, it&#8217;s much quicker than calling or texting people one at a time.</p>
<p><strong>8. Send a picture from the internet or your computer</strong><br />
Text 4 Free offers a free SMS service. With this, you can send any picture from your computer or from the internet. This can be a digital camera photo, or a picture from myspace. Simply, you can send any picture you have access to on your computer to a mobile phone.</p>
<p><strong>7. Send music or ringtones to a mobile phone</strong><br />
Using a free MMS service, such as the one we offer, you can send a music file from your computer to any cellular phone (including your own!). This is a great way to transfer ringtones from your computer to your phone without having to hook up your phone with a wire, or bluetooth.</p>
<p><strong>6. Bulk Messaging</strong><br />
Hmm&#8230; I can send up to 100 messages to one or more people. This feature could get interesting.  I&#8217;ll warn you now though, don&#8217;t use it to harass anyone! I&#8217;ve seen people take legal action over this. Be creative, I&#8217;m sure you can think of something to do with this feature.</p>
<p><strong>5. Unlimited Messaging</strong><br />
There&#8217;s no limit to your messaging. Feel free to send as many messages as you want, no need to worry about your phone bill.</p>
<p><strong>4. Stay Anonymous</strong><br />
When you send a message from the internet, no one sees your phone number. You&#8217;re like the masked zorro of the cell phone age. Don&#8217;t be cruel using this feature, please.</p>
<p><strong>3. Worldwide Coverage</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t limit yourself to your country. Services such as Text 4 Free give you access to dozens of providers all over the world. Send a text message across the globe from your home for absolutely no cost.</p>
<p><strong>2. Save time</strong><br />
I don&#8217;t know anyone who texts faster than they type. Typing an SMS allows you to save time, and even be more elaborate in your messages. There&#8217;s no need to leave something out in your message because you&#8217;re too lazy to punch it in. Typing is fast and easy.</p>
<p><strong>1. It&#8217;s Free!</strong><br />
Hey! Give it a try, you have absolutely nothing to lose. Many of these services are free. Go ahead and try it out, I promise you won&#8217;t regret it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that young adults have finally caught on to the magical world of text messaging. Really, how can anyone resist?</p>
<p>&#8220;A recent survey of American cell phone users conducted by Ipsos MORI on behalf of LogicaCMG Telecoms revealed that most of the growth in text and multimedia messaging is taking place among people aged 18 to 24. And young adults aren?t alone: the survey showed that usage of cell phones to check sports scores, get weather forecasts or order movie tickets is increasing rapidly across all ages at an even rate, with little difference between 18 year-olds and 40 year-olds.&#8221;</p>
<p>Researchers predict that in 2007, the amount of text messages send and received will increase by 50%! All ages are now starting to use cell phones for multiple purposes, whether that be news checkup, American Idol voting, or store location finders. The study also shows that more men than women watch videos and listen to music on their phones. Yet on the other hand, men are also more likely to complain about slow speeds and poor quality.</p>

<p>txting msgs 2 ppl iz cool! r u a txter?</p>
<p>The wonderful effect of texting on our grammar! It&#8217;s no surprise that teens who tend to abbreviate words in order to increase their mobile typing speed, see a decrease in their grammar skills. Texting frequently can cause people to often forget the real spelling of words and proper grammar. The same can be said about instant messaging. Seeing texting cause problems over a widespread population is certainly an important issue. The technology cannot be taken away, the only solution is to constantly teach grammar and spelling rules in school.</p>

<p>The Apple iPhone is revolutionary in its technology. It is bringing many things to mobile phones that haven&#8217;t been done before. This alone is a reason why teens will pay such high prices for such a small but powerful piece of equipment. Of course, Apple&#8217;s huge name and its success with the iPod will drive many old customers to their new product.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you&#8217;re an obsessive texter, or occasionally send an SMS to a friend, you probably opened up your phone bill once to find charges you didn&#8217;t expect. It&#8217;s happened to everyone, I still remember being charged an extra $50 for text messages sent in one month. It&#8217;s not a fun experience.</p>
<p>Most phone providers offer texting plans to their customer. Verizon for example has a texting plan for $15 a month that allows you to send and receive up to 1,000 messages.</p>
<p>Many people tend to go over and aren&#8217;t aware of the costs, here&#8217;s a small breakdown for some major US cell phone providers.</p>
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>The general fee for text messaging is usually the same for most providers. However, remember users also get charged for accessing the internet. Web browsing can incur high costs on your phone bill if you don&#8217;t use it sparingly. Of course this depends on your plan and how often you use it, but be aware of the price. While some providers charge per time, others charge per amount of data transferred.</p>
