i was told that orange use to have a free send text message to a phone, from
your pc. this was on oranges web page.

i have asked several sales people at orange and they dont seem to know about
it.

does it still exist? or does anyone know of a similar send free text message
from your pc service.

many thanks john west

There is PC Messenger, but it doesn't enable you to send free texts. You
get something like 50 when you start using it. It's a small outlook
plugin which integrates quite nicely with the phonebook. Only glitch I
can see is that only entries with a mobile number *and* an email address
will show up in the PC Messenger phonebook.

It very much depends on which Orange we are talking about.

Denmark (now Telia)
Belgium
France
Romania
Switzerland
