Sending an email to used to send an SMS to
Telecom customers.

The recipient might have to sign up and agree to pay, before the email
to sms gateway would deliver them any sms. Same with Vodafone and their
email to sms gateway.

I just checked my Skype account and they want a shocking NZD0.97 to
send a SMS text to my Telecom cellphone. Fat chance ...

I use Skype to SMS, and cost is something like AUD$0.13 per message to
Telecom.

DUHHHH. My mistake. It costs NZD0.097 (or ten cents) per SMS message.
Just tried it and it works beautifully. Which means ... when our
granddaughter sends us a text and we're at home, I don't have to
agonise over the response. FREE AT LAST ...

Not free, but usably reasonable -

option to NZ$ for a looksee.

What currency do you use? Do they accept NZD payment now?
Yeah - skype does work beautifully for SMS.
My teenager's group of friends have just cottoned on to skype, and are
using it for contact/chat as the "latest thing".
Two years ago it was SMS at 1000+ messages a month, then until recently,
Facebook.

That makes two mistakes in one day!!! I put in my NZ cellphone number
and made the wrong assumption about the cost being in NZ dollars. It's
USD0.097 ... which will buy me a dime.
