How does free text messaging work


Most services that offer genuine free SMS use it as a marketing ploy to attract visitors to their website. Once on their site and enjoying their free SMS service, they hope you will try some of their non-free services. This may include music, games, and ringtone downloads. Free SMS text services also make money through advertising. Therefore, if this marketing strategy fails for your free SMS provider, they will be out of business.

To reduce cost of your SMS, free text messaging services buy cheaper bulk SMS from different network providers upfront, enabling you to send SMS free as part of their bulk account with the service providers. Therefore, although you get it free, the free SMS provider pays for it but at a cheaper rate because they buy the SMS in bulk.

Beware of some free SMS services


Some free SMS services are not genuine. They claim to offer you free SMS service, but all they are interested in is your phone number, which they will use to send you Ads or scams to your mobile phones. So, before using any free SMS service, make sure it is genuine.


Therefore, you now know that you can send SMS free. Try any of these free text-messaging services.
