Please do not Email me on this subject because this is only a Reference and I cannot help you any further than what is printed on this page.

Free(Sometimes)Text to other Networks e.g. Cellnet, Vodaphone, one2one and Orange, These numbers keep on changing and some may work for one network and not for others, so keep checking and experiment. Remember if you use these numbers and get charged don't blame me because I am just helping out people who want to experiment. Like me I have come across some pages on the Net to help me find out more about this stuff so I copied some stuff down and then I put it on my web page. Please don’t email about this cause I am to busy at the moment. Thanks for visiting my homepage :)

How SMS Works (Non-Technical) When you send an SMS message from your phone to another phone on the same network, it goes to your network's SMS Service Centre (SMSC), which then forwards it on to the recipient's phone. Suppose you are roaming on a foreign network? In that case, the foreign network forwards the SMS message to your home network SMSC, which then delivers it in the usual way. Suppose a foreign visitor is roaming on your network - then your network provides him the same courtesy, forwarding his messages to the SMSC in his home country. What if you and a friend, who have phones on the same UK network, are both roaming abroad, in different countries, and you send her an SMS? The message goes from one foreign network, back to the SMSC in the UK, and the gets forwarded onto the other network. So, we know that networks can forward SMS to service centres on other networks, and that service centres can deliver to phones that are on still other networks. Getting any ideas yet? ...

The key remaining questions: Will your network forward SMS from one of its own customers phones (yours) to an SMSC on another network? Will that SMSC accept the message for delivery even though it doesn't come from one of its own customers? Will it deliver the message to a recipient on a third network even if that recipient (your friend) is not one of its own customers?

Fortunately, the answer to all three questions in most cases is yes.
