Do you have an iPhone? Well you should, and Apple just added one more great reason to convert to the Apple iPhone tribe: Free iPhone to iPhone SMS's.
Rather than having to pay Optus or Telstra for the SMS's you send, Apples new iMessage system automatically routes your iPhone to iPhone SMS's via the internet and saves you the cost of the SMS.
This is already proving to be a great money saver for big users of SMS, cutting down their phone bills, and cutting out the phone companies that can charge up to 20 cents per SMS.
Another great feature of iMessage is that SMS messaging is no longer restricted to just your iPhone, you can also now track your conversations on your iPad, iPod Touch and even from your mac computer or laptop via their new iMessages software.
How do you set up iMessages for free iPhone to iPhone SMS?
All you have to do is update your iPhone to the latest version of the operating system. Simply upgrade and iMessages is automatically included. Its free and its easy.
Then whenever you SMS a friend or collegue that also has the latest version on their phone, Apple will automatically route your SMS via the internet and it will be free.
How do you know if its free or not?
When you normally SMS someone your message appears in Green. However, if you message someone that is also using an iPhone with the latest software then the message appears Blue. This Blue message means that it has been routed via the internet and is Free.
How easy is that!
Well hop to it and grab your free SMS's today, and save yourself a bundle in the process.
