Teleflip - free SMS

Posted by Jeff July 22, 2006

For a couple years, I’ve been using and evangelizing telelip.com. Teleflip is a service where you could email 6175551212@teleflip.com, and an SMS would be sent for free to that number, regardless of carrier.

This is great for automated notifications (CruiseControl).

You can send 100 free SMS’s a month without registration. This is the easiest way to send SMS.. other options are to use Send To Phone, or the carrier-specific email.

    Sorry.. don’t understand. I don’t think teleflip works for non-US numbers.

    I found an even cooler site called http://www.enotifyme.com it allows me to convert my email to voice (email to phone) and listen to it on any landline or mobile phone and I can reply by voice back to the originating sender :) They also allow ‘cascading’ so I can selectively have emails reach me at home, then on my cell as a text message, then at the office and so on - kind of the ICQ version of what teleflip’s 1 trick pony approach is about.

    Jeff, you sure do get some strange comments here.

    Love surfing the blogosphere, just stumbled upon your post there about the Iraq timelines. I like how you piped in to NOT take credit for that scrolling timeline thing. Anyway, I’m usually looking for political stuff, and not techie/gadgety stuff, but I’ll be putting you on my list of blogs to check from now on.

    Saw this post. I think you should check out Meemo. It allows any phone on any carrier to give and receive mobile e-mail. It’s something inexpensive like 5 bucks a month. Kinda along the lines of Teleflip, only in a different league. There’s a free trial on the site. Google it.

    Cheers!
