How to Text Message Without a Charge
Sending text messages on your cellphone can be expensive. If you have an unlimited plan, you'll pay large amounts of money each month, and if you don't, you'll pay per message and you may get hit with fees. While the costs associated with texting can't be avoided with your cellphone, you can send as many messages as you want online. Using one of many free texting sites available, you can send short messages to anyone with a cellphone at no charge.
