I signed up for Hotxt just now. Basically, the service allows you to send unlimited texts from your mobile handset via the internet for a weekly fee – not per message. I wanted to add a couple of friends to the service but they ask for name, phone number and email in order to invite them and this concerned me – it’s a lot of information to give away obviously.
Anyway, I added a couple of friends who I knew to be ‘experimental’ in this respect and we’ve been playing with the service since and I have to say it’s really good so far! Basically, it works like a cross between email, text and chat and works pretty well. You can also text ‘out’ with some free credits given to you if you ask (to be ‘paid’ for in the future).
Anyway, pretty good fun so far.
