Free Text Messaging *
All Talk'n'Save phones have text messaging ability - they can send and receive SMS text messages using basic simple menu options (no need to go online, etc).
Customers can text message any cellular phone number in Israel, and an increasing number of cellular phones abroad!! Just like calls, text messages sent to numbers on the Cellcom network are cheaper than those sent anywhere else. However, incoming text messages are still free!!!**
Your
cellular provider "at home" may allow you to send messages
to Israel - however, you can send messages online for FREE using
the ICQ service!! ICQ (which was invented in Israel!)
allows you to download a module that sends and receives the text messages.
Creating a user account with ICQ is free, and it's free to send/receive
messages there as well! Your child in Israel can REPLY to ICQ text
messages and write you back too, for just the cost of an international
text message!
Go to www.icq.com/sms and try it today!! Always be in touch with ICQ and Talk'n'Save!
* SMS sent from ICQ are free. See your Talk'n'Save contract for SMS pricing from your phone.
** Incoming text messages from paid data services (news headlines, sports
scores and the like) do cost.
