Two of the most popular articles on this blog has been about sending free SMS to mobiles. But those two articles have been out of date. Since sending Free SMS have been an all time favorite hobby of my readers, I am doing a new post here.
160by2
160by2 is one of the best SMS providers for Asia pacific region. They support India, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Philippines and Malaysia. They have an easy to use interface also.
Pros
Instant Delivery
Group SMS
Autofill Dropdown Contact List
All service providers supported
Cons
Need your mobile number
ads at the end of all SMS
One ad (pop up) on web site
Could have supported more countries
Conclusion
160by2 is easy to use and have the most desired features including showing greeting SMS on your dashboard. but supporting more countries would make them the best Free SMS site on internet.
Yahoo
You can actually use Yahoos Mail or Messenger to send text messages to many countries. The countries allowed include Canada, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, United States and Vietnam. the full list of Mobile service providers supported for these countries can be <a rel=” href=”http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/context/context-13.html”>found here
Pros
Instant Delivery
Unlimited SMS
Many more countries supported
Integrated with Yahoo messenger and Mail
Don’t need your mobile number
Easy to use
Mail and SMS contacts
No ads
Cons
160 character limit for messages
No group SMS
Some service providers not supported.
Conclusion
Yahoo allows you to send SMS from the comfort of your Mail box. It also allows you to send message from Yahoo messenger. The overall manageability is good. But more service providers would have been better.
SendSMSNow
SendSMSNow is a global free SMS provider with more countries covered. You can send individual SMS for free but for group SMS you need to buy credits.
Pros
Much more countries supported
Bulk SMS for as low as $0.01
Haven’t used this much to tell many
Cons
No group SMS
Clumsy Interface
No help available
Conclusion
SendSMSNow is an OK SMS service. with no group SMS you are stuck with one at a time SMS. But this is the only option if you need to send SMS to the countries not supported by others.

I almost certainly would not have contemplated this was valuable two or 3 years ago, yet it is fascinating how age evolves the manner you react to stuff, thanks for the weblog post it really is pleasing to see anything smart now and then instead of the regular rubbish masquerading as blogs and forums on the web.
