Free SMS On IPhone 3G Via AOL IM Client


Glenn Fleishman writes "Jeff Carlson has discovered that you can bypass the 20 cent për message or $5 to $20 për month fees for SMS (text messaging) with the iPhone 3G and AT&T by using AOL's downloadable instant message client for iPhone 2.0, which is free. Just like the full-blown AOL IM system, you can add buddies that are the phone numbers of cell phones you want to send SMS to, and you establish a two-way conduit. The recipient still pays for SMS (if they have a fee) on their end, but if it's another iPhone user, you could coordinate with them via SMS to use instant messaging instead."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
