HELP
TextMeFree.com Help :-)
More than two million people have visited TextMeFree.com
since its 'birth' in 2001. (See what it looked like in
2001 by visiting this TextMeFree.com
Squidoo lens.) Not
surprisingly some of those people have had questions...
Firstly, TextMeFree.com is basically just a directory of
free sms sites. That means you can't send free sms at TextMeFree.com.
Once you understand that, many frequently asked questions have obvious
answers...
1. "Help, I can't send free text messages!"
or
"How do i send free sms? How many will free sms send?"
My answer:
Please note that you can't send free sms from my site, TextMeFree.com
- it is just a directory of free sms sites. Instead, you use TextMeFree.com
to find a free sms site that lets you send free text messages to the
country you want; you then visit that site and follow the instructions
you find there..
It's all explained here
- http://www.textmefree.com/how-to-use-this-site.html
or here
- http://www.textmefree.com/how-send-free-sms.html
or even here
- http://www.textmefree.com/faqs-how-send-sms.html
I'm sorry that this is not clearer on my site.
Yes, the free sms sites listed at TextMeFree.com are PC to mobile. Sometimes
you need to register and sometimes you don't - this information should
be provided in the listings!
2. "Why don't you have a free service to my country?"
My answer:
I only list the free sms sites that I know about, and if there are no
listings for your country, that's because I just don't know of any free
sms sites there. :-(
Why not try out one of the services listed on the worldwide page, instead.

(Note: you can find
much more detailed listings for free sms sites worldwide here!)
3. "I have received abusive messages (from TextMeFree.com)"
My answer:
If you (or someone you know) have received abusive, or unwanted, text
messages then you need to complain to the owner of the Free SMS site
that was used.
If that service is TextMeFree/Fonetastic then please provide details
of the abuse and contact Fonetastic directly (they operate the service
and NOT TextMeFree.com)

4. "Help, I'm getting too many text messages and I want them
to stop..."
My answer:
Basically, your membership of a particular free sms service may mean
that you have to receive sms 'advert' messages from them. These messages
will stop if you stop being a member.
There are different ways to stop your membership - from logging in and
cancelling your membership, to unsubscribing.
Please check the membership terms and conditions of the particular service.
You might just be receiving sms spam, not connected with a free sms
website. In that case I advise you to check
out this website which allows you to complain (and see if others
have complained!).

5. "How do I unsubscribe from your service?"
My answer:
Basically, TextMeFree does not operate any service for you to unsubscribe
from! If you are receiving (or sending) messages with TextMeFree.com
in the text then you need to contact Fonetastic, as this is their service.
- http://www.fonetastic.com/global/support/
You can unsubscribe from The TextMeFree Times by clicking the
unsubscribe button in the email you receive. But I will be sad! :-(
6. "How do I send free sms?"
My answer:
It's all explained at http://www.textmefree.com/how-to.html
but you just have to follow these 3 steps:
1) DECIDE WHO you want to send free text messages to.
2) FIND a free text messaging service for that country listed on TextMeFree.com.
3) USE the free sms service...
Simple. No? :-)
NOTE: you CAN'T send free sms directly from TextMeFree.com !
Yes, people living in the UK can use Fonetastic/TextMeFree
- http://textmefree.fonetastic.com/sms/v1/
And yes, people living in Australia can use FreeSMSMate/TextMeFree
- http://textmefree2.freesmsmate.com.au/sms/v1/
But both these services are run by other companies
TextMeFree.com is a directory of free sms sites. That's all.
