Text Cheaper TXTs from Your Mobile. Only 2p Not 10p

accesspwd1 · #1 10-31-2008, 01:47 PM

Texting is a bit of a con. Think about it, for a tiny cost, you can send and receive masses of high quality data including e-mails, videos, pictures and music through most modern phones' mobile internet; yet to send just 160 characters via old fashioned texting can cost 10p or more.

So the aim is simple....

Use your phone's mobile internet to send text messages, rather than its text facility and the cost's tiny in comparison

As most handsets sold in the last few years offer some sort of mobile data functionality, this is now possible. To do it though you need to use software designed by one of several canny businesses. As the network's texting mark-up is so high, and the data use so tiny, these companies can still prosper with super-low message costs.

How mobile-web texting software works

The programmes are designed to feel almost identical to normal texting, and some allow you to simply use the numbers in your mobile's address book. Better still, none of those detailed below carry advertising, and when you text all messages appear to come from your number, so friends can easily reply.

What phones do they work on?

The important thing is you have a handset which can download data by GPRS, and supports Java; as a rough rule of thumb, if your phone's capable of downloading and playing a game, chances are it's fine.

If you've never tried that, then most phones from the last few years, unless they're very basic, should be fine. The one exception is for 3 mobile customers, as it won't let you use any third-party software.
If you want to use this software, then to really keep your costs down, do note...

It's free if those you regularly text have downloaded the software too, so get your friends involved. Otherwise it's a still very cheap 2-3p a text.

The top mobile-web texting software

All the software below works in a roughly similar way, though which suits you best will be dictated by a mix of price and service.

. It's available for all java and data capable handsets. Downloading it is free and online tutorials will take you through installing it.

You must always select the FishText icon instead of your usual 'messages' one when you want to send a text. You'll also need to open it to see any texts from other fish-texters. Alternatively you can leave it running constantly in the background, checking for messages, but there will be a small data charge each time it does, and this will slow some phones down.

service works in a similar way to FishText, but costs slightly more, at 3p per UK message. However, it's trump card is you can set it to load itself up when you receive a message from other Vyke users, so you don't need to leave it on, which should keep your handset running at a decent speed. Though doing this can mean a small data cost each time it checks.

Installation is quite simple; just go to the Vyke site and register, and it'll text the application to your phone. From there, it's a matter of a few key clicks. If there's anything you're unsure about, full instructions and support are provided on Vyke's site.

Vyke has been up and running over a year now, and has received strong feedback after being featured in the previous incarnation of this guide. Plus it will give you 50p starting credit if you want to try it.

Did you get this from the MoneySavingExpert site? I've posted about Vyke some time ago but FishText is a lot better and cheaper. Better why? Cos you can use your mobile as well as text online and the system keeps a record of your texts for up to 60 days. Download it and see for yourselves.
