Just wondering if there is any good (free) Australian programs that send sms to Australian mobile phone users?
(Programs are much more preferred than web sites that make you earn points to send msgs.

I currently use the SMS Service built into ICQ, but that only works to Vodafone users, and I want to send messages to Optus users as well. (prefix 0421)

Does anyone know of any???

You can also use icq to send to telstra phones now as well...i know that doesnt take care of optus,but it helps.

It's funny... at the ICQ site, http://web.icq.com/sms/smsnetworks/ , the three that they list in Australia are:

-Vodafone
-Telstra
-Optus

I can't imagine why I can't send to an Optus phone. Perhaps my ICQ needs to be updates to a newer version, even though I do have 2002.

Does anyone know of any programs that work that you don't have to pay for?

I have downloaded a few, but none of them seemed to work without some kind of registration and fees.

I just checked a site I use to go to. It was free now they want you to download ring tones for $2.75 a minute. You then get 20 free sms (to use from the site) for each download. Time to remove that page from my favourites.

Well, thanks for that kensu. I guess I can go through the process of elimination before I find what I am after. LOL.
