Im looking for a free UK SMS service, is there such a thing?
Ive seen numerous free american / canadian but no UK.
I intend on sending notification via text's to site admins, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Regards, Mal

Sorry you're out of luck

The reason it's free in US is because US SMS can be done over the email network.

Mal, here's how I do it
I run my sms server from my office, simple mobile phone/02 sim card with unlimited texts connected to the office server.
I use Kylix sms server software, works with php MySQL, my web application is hosted elsewhere and Kylix connects to the MySQL Server every 10 seconds to check for new messages.
Really cheap solution, works great.
Kind regards
