There are a number of sites on the internet that allow you to send free sms messages straight to some one’s cell phone. The first place to check is with the internet service provider. If you know which company your contact uses you may be able to simply log on to that companies website and send.
If you don’t know the specifics, many websites offer free internet to phone sms services. Log on, enter the phone number and your message and click send. The tricky part is finding a service that allows your contact to respond to you. Most internet to phone text messaging services are one way.
There are also download-able options, I know skype offers a SMS feature with their software. However, this is also a one way service. AOL instant messenger also allows you to two-way text your contacts via WAP, but only if they are signed up for the service themselves.

Mobile Messaging On The Rise Yet Again
December 29th, 2009
What the Study Shows:
In the latest study conducted by ABI Research, it is apparent that mobile messaging is the way of the future. With an increase in SMS messaging in the Americas, the continued growth of mobile emailing in developed nations, and widespread interest in social networking across the globe, researchers expect mobile messaging to generate revenues reaching $212 billion by 2013. While the economy may be slumping in many respects, this research shows that mobile messaging is definitely on the rise.
Benefits of Mobile :
Although different regions of the world have experienced various rates of success depending on the mobile message driver, there are numerous common benefits shared across the board. Ultimately, “messaging services provide a timely, cost-effective, customer-specific communication and information capability.” These shared advantages make mobile messaging a growing market that is expected to increase steadily over the next five years.
Future of Mobile marketing:
While mobile services have already made their presence felt, we can expect even greater waves to be made in the next few years. ABI claims, “The next stage of messaging growth will be strongly influenced by new input and access capabilities, and integration across mobile and fixed-line platforms.” These new innovations ABI refers to include things such as touch screens, advanced keyboard designs, and voice-to-text capabilities. As technology becomes more advanced, we can assume our messaging systems will become more advanced as well and make mobile messaging easier and more convenient than ever before. While we may not know what tomorrow holds, we can be sure that mobile will play a vital role.
