If you are text messaging junkie and reduce your text messaging cost then I have some ideas for you.  Many carriers charge 20 cents per text message, which can add up to big bucks over time.  Of course, you can add a messaging plan to your service plan that will cost an additional $5 to $20 per month.  But who wants to add on extra expenses in these rough economic times?
 
You can save money with text messaging by using a PC to send the message bypassing your cell phone carrier and saving money.  One service you can use to send free messages to any mobile phone is GizmoSMS.com, which is very easy to use.  Visit the site, pick the country of the recipient, enter the cell phone number and message, a code to prevent spamming and your message if off.  All for free.

If you want 2-way communication then checkout Cherple.com.  They offer a free software program for Mac and Windows that lets users receive and send text messages.  Cherple.com allows anyone with an Internet connection, anywhere in the world; carry on a 2-way text conversation with any U.S. cell phone.

Gmail users can also send text messages for free by enabling Text Messaging (SMS) in Chat, a new Google Labs feature that adds texting capabilities in Gmail.

For iPhone users, you can purchase SMS Touch for $3 that enables you to send unlimited messages.  Replies are sent to your e-mail inbox.  Visit the Apple App Store to purchase.
