godders Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 just ported back to vodafone lol.....went with Optus as work for them but not paying 50cents for international text with them. GIZMO how does SKYPE work for texting? is that from the PC to UK mobiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuju Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Paul, Yes texting from computer to uk mobile - just add the number using +44 or + wherever spain etc as a skype out contact and then when highlighted right click and opt for send sms message - it also gives you options for the person you are texting to see either your skype name or your mobile number (in your set up) and also lets you know when the person has received the message. Have a go its quite good gizmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoll Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Another nail in the Optus coffin! I sms DS1 quite regularly. Will have to get on to skype to do that now I reckon. Looking forward to May when I can escape from the Optus clutches once and for all - but where to?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
