    Most either are either paying for the texts themselves on at bulk sender rates and recooping the money through advertising etc, absorb the cost as a side service to their main purpose or are using another insecure site without permission.

    yes AstarothSolutions is right. If you get on of those scripts and want to build a sms sending site prepare to pay money for the sms from your own pocket. You can get it back by offering only first x free and asking for money for more. The secret is if you have high sms sending volume you'll get a better price per a single sms thus you could earn more if you get money for extra sms. Although it's called free sms , you will ask money for sms (after a number sent or as a premium membership etc).

    Hi,

    You'll hear a lot of people talk about free sms sending scripts. These just dont work. See this thead (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=679886&highlight=send+sms).

    But if you want to be more that just a flakely website that promises but doesnt deliver then you'll need a commercial sms gateway sms that provide SMS credits at a per-message price. As mentioned, the higher the volume the bigger the discount.

    Free SMS sites can also be made using emails. It will email to the proper gateway. Something like it will then be sent to the phone via the provider. There are drawbacks like it will only work in certain countries, you have to know the email and the person has to know the other's provider.

    Hi akash_9105,

    Theres loads of questions on DP about sending free sms so in response we've just kicked off a cookbook type series of posts on how to create a free SMS website. Its a no nonsense guide that tries to de-mystify the techniques for sending free sms.
    Its here:
