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!!) has options for downloading
their program or using it directly from their website. 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 http://web.icq.com/sms and try it today!! Always be in touch with ICQ and Talk'n'Save!
*incoming text messages from paid data services (news headlines, sports scores and the like) do cost.
