GoMo
The GoMo (Go Mobile) site is part of the Strathfield group, and allows you to send SMS messages both within Australia and around the world.
GoMo uses its own currency called "Pins". New users receive 10 free Pins which may be spent on Web-based SMS within Australia (1 Pin each) or Internationally (2 Pins). There are also reminder notes, which you can set up to send you an SMS at some time in the future (great for remembering dates such as birthdays and anniversaries). More Pins are available from 18.5 cents each. You can add a banner to your own Web page to earn 20 Pins and, as the site says, "We will continue to monitor all sites that link to us and they will receive extra benefits in the future".
There are also logos, pictures, and ringtones available at AU$3.50/minute plus GST (this part of the site is powered by iTouch). This site is bright and friendly and very easy to navigate.
ICQ
ICQ, the Internet messaging system, also has SMS capabilities. If any of your ICQ contacts have registered their mobile number for SMS you can send them a message with only a few clicks.
This system also allows replies directly back to the same number that will appear as an ICQ message in your ICQ mail box.
This is an excellent system if you already use ICQ, but the main problem is that it will only send messages to Vodafone mobiles at the moment.
