This is not really VoIP news, but VoipBuster is now offering free SMS from your mobile.
It requires you to install a small Java application on your mobile, and after that, you can send free SMS messages using a GPRS data connection, which is usually way cheaper than sending a SMS message using your mobile provider.
Here's how:
1) How to install:
- On your mobile go to
http://gsm.voipbuster.com/ (on some mobiles you need to choose 'download application' on some phones you can just go to the webpage).
- download and install the application, start the application (for most mobiles: in the menu, go to applications)
- in "settings" fill in your VoipBuster username / password and your mobile phone number
2) How to send SMS:
- start the application (for most mobiles: in the menu, go to applications)
- go to options --> sms
- you can select the person you want to send a sms from your mobile phone contacts through options --> add from contacts
- type your message and hit SEND!
- your mobile phone will ask you to open a data connection. This uses just a tiny bit of data traffic.
- Voipbuster charges you nothing! Yes --> NOTHING!
