Web2msg

I hate to complain about a site that offers something free to the public but I'm mainly reviewing this so no one wastes their time using this service since it no longer works.

It used to be a very good service. If you're in the US you could text to people in Australia with several different cell phone carriers and even receive replies. There were a limited amount of texts you could send a day but hey, it was free, how could we complain?

It had a bit of a problem with the amount of allotments for various carriers a day and they would have to cut off messaging after their share of allotments had been used up but it would reset every 12 hours so even though it was unavailable at times for some carriers, it was okay and it was understandable.

Unfortunately, this service hasn't worked for the last few months and when you text someone, you get a message saying message delivery failed, try again later, but when you do try later you get the same message.

It's a waste of time using web2msg these days. I don't know if they've just abandoned the site or what. I've sent emails asking if they were having problems but no one ever answers. Before, the staff would communicate with you and answer your questions but not anymore. I guess it doesn't hurt to periodically check to see if they're up an running now and then but I don't see it coming back.

I'm thankful to the site for the time they were operating because they've saved me a lot of money on international texting. Too bad it seems to be shut down now. It used to be a wonderful service. Sad to see them go.
