Jaxtr Introduces Free International SMS


2008-04-20 20:34:07 | Viewed 1328 times

Jaxtr, a US-based social communication company that allows users to bypass a carrier's international phone charges via the Web, has launched a new service that lets members send free SMS to anyone in the world, whether or not the recipient is a Jaxtr member.

Send free smsWith this new service, free text messages can be sent to mobile phones in 38 countries, directly from the member's Jaxtr home page. The recipients have the option to reply directly with their mobile phone or click on a link, sign up with Jaxtr, and send a free reply using the phone's Web browser. Until now, Jaxtr allowed calling within the community; only members were allowed to make calls to each other. However, with the new SMS service, Jaxtr has broadened the platform, allowing members to SMS even those who are not its members.

"Jaxtr allows anyone to sign up for a free membership and start sending SMS messages internationally at absolutely no cost. You can SMS your friends and family abroad whether or not they are currently members of Jaxtr," said Touraj Parang, co-founder and chief operating officer of Jaxtr.

Moreover, in light of Research and Markets' latest annual report, 2008 will see over two trillion SMS text messages sent worldwide, this new service by Jaxtr seems to be a good option to consider, at least when it comes to sending an international SMS.

If you have friends from all around the world and it's just too expensive to pick up the phone and call them, you could send them a text message instead. Even then, there is usually a premium for sending a text message across borders. What if you could reduce that price to zero dollars and zero cents?

Expanding their existing services to new heights, Jaxtr is offering members the opportunity to send free SMS to mobile phones in 38 different countries. You won't be able to do this through your phone, but if you log into the Jaxtr website, you can send the SMS from there. Jaxtr is already known as a number-hiding service wherein users can "hear from callers worldwide while keeping their existing phone number private."

An account with Jaxtr is free and it's handy that you can send text messages to non-Jaxtr members too.
