Day +246 : Send Free SMS Worldwide From Your PC

I am fine today.

I am introducing to you today a free SMS service that really works. Just register at http://www.mobik.com/home.htm and start to send free SMS worldwide from PC or mobile phone with Java support.

You will see the following when you visit the MOBIK home page.


Click Send Free SMS will bring you to a screen as shown below.

If you have not registered before, click ‘register’ button. This will bring you to the registration form. Fill in all the details and then login using the user name and password once the registration is successful.

After login, you will be presented with this interface . Click to enlarge.

Just keys in your own mobile phone number below the Message Composer, after the word ‘To’. Please bear in mind that the number has to include the country code, 6013xxxxxxx instead of 013xxxxxxx for example. Type the message below and then click the button ‘send’ at the bottom. You will get the message almost instantly!

You can also add in contact by clicking on the green '+' button. Once you get the contact in, you can then drag and drop the contacts to the 'To' box. However, the contacts do not support group, so if you want to send SMS to a group of people, you can put all comma separated mobile phone numbers of the group in a separate text file on our computer and then cut and paste into the 'To' box.

Click on the folders tab and then 'send' will let you see last 20 SMS that you sent.

You also need to bear in mind the following:

  1. Mobik will append an advertisement into your message.
  2. Your message length can be 120 characters only, the remaining 40 is used by Mobik for the advertisement purposes.
  3. Your recipient will receive advertisement together with your message. If they don't like the advertisement, ask them to close their eyes immediately after reading your message :-)
  4. Chinese character are not supported, messages with Chinese character fail to deliver.
  5. Please always remember to sign your message; else the recipient don't know who send them the message as the sender as appeared on the recipient mobile phone is MOBIK.

Let me know if you have problem using the service.

Happy SMSing and see you next post :-)
