Anyone heard of
 
http://www.sms.ac ? Have been sent an invite but to be honest it looks a little dodgy to me. Anyone had any dealings with it?

Unless the person you send the message to replies in which case they get charged 25p for sending it back through the web service if they don't realise it's not going direct to the mobile??

but you would have to register a mobile to be able to be charged , i only use it once in a while anyway when i have run out of payg credit , easy enough to stop using it i reckon , i will sign up with paul's link further up the page :tu:

Haha yeah, use that site - as the only web developer in 118 Ltd, I'm responsible for it. :D
(but I didn't design/code it BTW)

Don't use it, I constantly get invites off people who have joined, the site uses their MSN contact list to advertise the site and will keep sending you invites until you join, if you are on a person's MSN contact list and they join you will get invites.

It's a pain to all the people who are on your MSN contact list!

You can manually choose the people it sends the invite to now, I had a look at the site, bloody thing keeps crashing though when you get to a certain point of the registration :dozey:

I've heard of it as a lot of my mates from school seem to use it but I wouldn't touch it with a barge poll.
