Default Best deal for sms msgs.

As per title really, yes I could trawl round all the sites, but I need something special . I need a phone PURELY for text msgs. As for volume, at least 1000 a month, perhaps as many as 3000 a month.

Anyone know of any good deals for such a strange request ?

Cheers

Stu

wow thats allot of messages!! surely it would be cheaper to call people! !

I know o2 do 500 free messages a month and then you can buy bolts ons which get you extra for something like 5p a message. Thats the cheapest ive seen tbh. But that doesnt mean that cheaper deals dont exist!

Does it have to be a phone? If you want to send that many, I'd look at using an online service, ICQ used to do free SMS.

The reason is that it is for an gsm modem to send out notifications, for a little application im (attempting ahem ) to write.

I'd definately be tempted to look for an online service!

for 19 quid you can get an online o2 account with 500 free a month then its 12 quid for a bolt on for 400 messages.. for 3000 you are still looking at 91 quid a month !!!!

not cheap !

Talking

If you have an O2 online tariff instead of a normal O2 instore tariff they give a lot more free texts for the same money.
