      The same happened to me only a short sms and it took 2 credits. Not to worry just thought it was odd

    Already had an account from last year's bonus credit offer but couldn't find anywhere to enter a promo code (note to SMS Global - surely it would be easier to let existing customers add credits with a promo code than have them create new accounts!?). Opened a new account using another mobile number but forgot to use the promo code so sent them an email and it was added in less than an hour. Great service.

    Nice one!

    I got charged 2 credits too! But I sent the sms from the website

    • annoynimous on 26/05/2010 - 22:55

      hey there, I did some testing too and found out its a minimum charge of 2 credits per delivery. This means that its best you text above 160 chars and below 320 chars to make up to 2 sms messages. Whether you are sending a text below 160 chars or below 320 chars, the charge is the same.

        Ok, that would explain it. Is this mentioned somewhere on their site? Seems a rather sneaky way to make us use up our credits faster, thinking we get 225 SMSes when it's only 112 max. Still, they were free.

        • annoynimous on 27/05/2010 - 12:10

          I checked my account again this morning, it looks like they might have fixed the problem. I have sent three msgs in total, first one being one word called "test" and the other 2 being 200+ chars. The total credits deducted was 5.

            @annoynimous: I sent two regular (shorter) messages on the 25/5 and got charged 2 credits correctly. I think it might have been a (hopefully temporary) bug for some.

            • moooooooo on 30/05/2010 - 18:59

              @daydream: I sent one message today (159 characters) via web to SMS and was charged 2 credits.

    nice service. As someone already mentioned, the beauty is you can send/receive SMS via email. (and it's free!) There is no service available other than this SMS Global so it's very special. Thanks!

    OK, I can now confirm that it is possible to register/activate a new $2 Vodafone prepaid SIM without needing to add credit. This has enabled me to create an account with SMS Global and I have just changed my mobile caller ID to my 'original' mobile number. Now that I have registered I can essentially discard the Vodafone SIM as it serves no further purpose. Ultimately, I've managed to get 225 SMS credits for $2, which is truly an OzBargain!

      But still no positive vote? ;p Hey, just curious… Am a long time customer, and have purchased many credits from them, plus got 225 free sms when I first signed up. Very happy with their service. They allow mms to be sent too, but costs more credits. Real useful for sending someone a pic of something that wasn't taken using my phone.

  • waylander on 31/05/2010 - 10:27

    hmm i dont really trust the sms counter. it once said i had 5000 sms left :S, but it got fixed the next day, and other minor sms counting problems. but the service is good so far, all my sms's get sent so all good i guess :P

  • hardik3636 on 01/06/2010 - 13:40
