Lads...........I was told that if you have no credit on yer mobile and want to send a message, you can do by logging on a site on yer PC and sending it from there. Any truth or have those wanky privates stitched the corporal up.......again?

I think Virgin.net provide this service. I've never used it myself, but I have received messages from other people. I seem to remember that your limited in the no. of characters you can use.

You certainly can matey.
You used to be able to send them via ICQ, probably still can.

Try this. Have to register though.

Lads, thanks a lot. Not just for me, but those snot-nosed privates who would have gone through Hell (again) if it was a send up!!
My personal favourite 'extra' is to make someone peel a sack of spuds, 'turn' every spud into a chateau (an 8 sided barrel shape) potato (takes about 2 hrs) then have them boiled and mashed. Its soul destroying, but I've been there myself......builds character ;-)

Go to and type in "free sms messages" and you should get a list of sites that offer this.

At the moment 99% of them you have to register - but most are free.

By the way, if you are in the army, you will get a mobile phone - as you are NOT credit checked. So even if you have CCJ's and stuff like that, it does not matter.

I think some payphones also offer sms text messaging.
