Tex2me.com ‘free SMS service’ close-up!

By on April 25, 2006 in Services

MypictureAfter my spasm this morning getting Tex2me setup, I am up and running. 

I did my best to do a close-up picture using my poncy Apple iSight.  (Like a million other Apple users, I have to find some sort of use for it).

Tex2me.com is fast.  Very fast.  I didn’t expect it to operate so quickly.  I had a welcome message from ‘J J’ so I whacked back a reply — but other than that, I was alone on the service.  At 11pm at night I wasn’t going to go inviting people — I’ll do that tomorrow.  But I wanted to check out how it worked so I happened upon a plan: text myself with it!

I sent a message to Ewan MacLeod and waited.  That is, until I realised it had already arrived — the moment I sent it as you see above.  Smart.

Photo_54 Here’s what it looks like when you open a message.  The branding you see there — the blue background — that’s the Sony Ericsson default stuff.   

There’s a couple of options on this screen.  I can go back to my inbox or click ‘more’ to get reply/delete options.

So it’s totally free.  Interesting stuff. I’m going to invite some people tomorrow and check it out some more.

Meantime, if you’ve a few moments, go ahead and download it (www.tex2me.com) and send me a message.  Just address it to Ewan MacLeod.

    hi there folks

    Tex2me seems to be down today. Have they folded? I can’t use their application either.

    Hi
    Sorry about the blip on 17th March. One of our servers was affected by a power cut. tex2 itself was fine; the alert system took the hit.

    By the by, you can now use tex2 to send and receive email, as well as traditional SMS messages. There’s a PC dashboard too. Check out the re-vamped site at http://www.tex2me.com and tell all your mates.

    Cheers
