Yakedi

This is my first experience of online sms: it worked and in good time - so I'm rapt!

The messages are 160 characters in length and there is a handy counter where text is inputted.

I didn't get a confirmation msg that a text that I'd sent was received (if that's the question that's being asked on the rating page). However I never have had the benefit of such service through years of usual mobile texting.

Besides the message log sets out everything that needs to be known including verbatim content and split second timing of send. This is no comparison easier to view than phone scrolling.

The site is attractive with it's vibrant and refreshing green-on-white and a menu that permits managing one's individual account, as well as contacts list. With my problem RSI of the thumb/hand/wrist on tiny hard phone keys (& I've an N95), this is a service that I'll be using even when my phone credit is reasonable again!

Well done Yakedi, proud to be a grateful recipient. Like the name too.

Talk about jumping through hoops!! I had to go through 14 different pages before my SMS was sent (From beginning to end) - it would have been cheaper and easier for me to use my phone LOL

A year ago Yakedi promised 10 free text messages per day but after I signed up the site declared that due to the economic downturn they can only offer 3 free messages. OK, not too bad. However, some of my messages were not received by the recepients. I overcame this by sending every message twice. That worked for a while. Now even this doesn't always work. I cannot rely on a service that is temperemental and I am ditching it! I think the advertising sponsors should know about this.
