Send Anonymous Texts in the UK

Send Anonymous Texts in the UK

I saw this over on SMS Text News this morning. A new UK company has set up a service that allows people to send anonymous text messages via a website. The service takes advantage of the ability to set the sender ID in free SMS messages in the UK to make it appear the message has come from someone else.

To use the service you have to purchase a keycode using your own (or someone else's) mobile phone. The keyword will cost you �£1.50, and give you access to the anonymous sending service. The company records the originating mobile number (the one used to buy the keycode), along with all the details of the message being sent.

    Okaaay…

    I can send a text message anonymously for £1.50.

    I guess that’s good. But how is that better than sending a text message from one of the many free sms providers, for free?

    Admiteddly, some of these services force you to register, so you lose your anonymity, but quite a lot don’t; e.g. http://www.cbfsms.com

    And okay you might not be able to pretend your text is coming from your brother or your boss, but is that *really* worth paying £1.50 for?

    Sorry, I don’t get it.

    Why isn’t someone combining “free sms” with “anonymous texting” and coming up with a service that costs 10p?

    *That* would be newsworthy, to me.

    I am more than happy for someone to explain why a £1.50 anonymous texting service is smart. Please do. Please educate me. I promise to pay attention! :)

    (Note: I also read this first at SMS Text NEWS, and I would have posted *this* there, but he didn’t make it easy for me to do so in his newsletter (did he?), so I didn’t. Yeah, I think I must have got out the bed the wrong side, today! LOL.)

    Why exactly would I want to pay £1.50/$3.00 for a text when websites like hoaxMail (http://www.hoaxmail.co.uk) do it for around £0.09/$0.18?
