help i dont have a message plan and need a app that will let me send and get text

I don't know of an app, but you can email texts to phones if you know what service provider they have.
Just insert their ten digit phone number where it says phonenumber:


Alltel: phonenumber@message.alltel.com
AT&T: phonenumber@txt.att.net

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
US Cellular (Audio, mp3, picture jpg, and video 3gp): phonenumber@mms.uscc.net

Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com


You could save it as a contact number for each person so you don't have to remember who takes their $ for service, but I don't think you can receive.

OR you could spend a couple bucks a month to get the service, which I would reccomend. It isn't THAT expensive.
