[UPDATED]:Jaxtr's Free SMS(to 38 Countries)service over

UPDATE:Now you get only a link to jaxtr's wap site which you need to open to read the recieved message, unlike earlier when you received the message on your phone. So the service isn't fully free as the receiver has to pay GPRS access charges

They will close down the service within a month like all other previous services after realizing their mistake in introducing such things in India. :D

Aha..you seem to have missed the catch..Max size of one sms can be only 65 characters! So I presume they are going to append text ads before sending it just as other service providers currently do!

Indyarocks limits to 90 characters per sms. So there is no concept of no limit.
