anyone with free text messaging?

not to sound like a spammer, but i just found a website that gets companies to send you texts (coupons or something) and they pay you every text...i have unlimited text so i figure it'll just pay for itself.
the companies pretty new so they havent really started yet (they're collecting advertisors still), but they're saying it would take up to 90 days...

if anyone is interested, give me your name and email (i wanna get points for referall :-D )

 

Im confused - if they pay you how do they make money?

 

i'm sure advertisors give them a cut of it too....

 

I don't get it really. How do they pay you and why? They send you little spam messages onto your phone or something?

 

they're mostly getting companies that are up and coming, because those companies are trying to get they're name across...they send out coupons so people can use it - its like a cheap form of advertisement

 

Anyone know the format to send a text message to an AT&T (cellular one) number from your email??

 

Plenty of SMS processors and suchlike, who receive email and send to text. You need an account with one of them and they charge per message being sent or charge for say, 100 msgs.

Google is your friend.

One processor sends to the number, regardless of whether its AT&T.

To clarify that above, which, today, seems not to make sense.

You use one processor, which you pay for, and that one processor sends out to the specific number(s), regardless of whether that number is with AT&T or Verizon or other number provider.

Hth

 

sorta like Groupon. They still around?

 

Free messaging apps used to be a big topic years ago, and it’s funny how many options disappeared. Now most people just use mainstream platforms without thinking about it. I remember comparing productivity tools and somehow running into google workspace reviews during a discussion about communication apps. Messaging, email, and collaboration have really merged. Reliability matters more than “free” these days. Still interesting to see older threads about it.
