iPhone Trick: Send and Receive Free Text (SMS) and Picture messages from iPhone 3G

for text messages, you can use a simpler option:
xxxxxxxxxx@teleflip.comthe teleflip server auto-detects the sms carrier and forwards. Users can reply.

To bad this is not available to all users and some operators also charge you for this service ...
P.S. For thous of you who can use it for free it'll work for every phone and from every email client\server...

But with AT&T you have to pay for messages you received

you guys are not READING THE DAMN TITLE of the article! This is a trick for the IPHONE.
unless your little lg chocolates and nokia's have e-mail accounts you can set up, this will not work!
The concept is simple. on a regular phone, you may email someone (as long as you're txt to email is supported with your carrier).
From your computer, you may text someone by reversing this role. That is to say that you log into your e-mail and send a message to "xxxxxxxxxx@the phonecarriercarrier.com"
Seeing as the iphone, or blackberry devices, act as small pda's, this is possible! As long as you can acess your email on your PHONE, this will work. I believe some people reading this are trying to send texts through thier regular sms to email adresses (YES THIS IS GOING TO CHARGE U!) the point is, when you send a text via ur email on your phone device, you're not using the phone itself, you're using the internet- the email. And that is why it sends free...however, you might wanna make sure your data plan won't screw you over
