For those of you in foreign lands, communication can sometimes be a little frustrating. While cell phones have made things usually easier, they can also sometimes be a bit of a pest; you're always reachable, to a degree.
One of the handy ways that most foreigners communicate is by text messages. They're cheaper than calling someone (especially for those on pay-as-you-go plans) and they don't involve speaking. The only thing is that you have to typically press those tiny buttons on your cell phone. Well, not anymore.
Callwave.com offers a handy little program, with three choices of how to use it, to send free text messages worldwide - and here's the best part - for FREE. all you need to do is sign up for a simple account, again, for free, and go ahead. you can send text messages anywhere in the world, as long as you properly input the phone numbers, with country code. I've been using it for weeks, and its a handy way to send messages to friends, reminders, pretty much anything you can think of. It's a handy tool, and friends of mine send me messages all the time. There's three choices of the program; for those of you with a Mac, the widget is by far the most convenient. However, for you PC users, the Google homepage application works quite simple on your Google homepage. Otherwise, theirs a Vista widget, and for you Yahoo widget users, theirs one for you too. Enjoy the perks of free programs. They come in handy every so often...
take care, and don't work too hard
