Free SMS to Oi - Getting the Most Out of Your Mobile SMS and Texting Plans
In the United States we are accustomed to paying for every text message we receive or send.
In other countries, text messaging is usually referred to as SMS.
These fees are typically limited as cell phone companies in the US offer options for free minutes.
Other countries, however, do not have that luxury and have to pay enormous fees just to send and receive text messages or SMS.
For those residing in Brazil and using a Brazil based cell phone company or for people sending text and SMS messages to people in Brazil, their fees can become extremely high.
As of recently Brazil's most popular cell phone carrier, Mundo Oi, has introduced Oi Torpedos to provide free SMS service for those who carry their plan and send text messages or SMS messages to Brazilians with this cell phone service.
Mundo Oi is a large and significantly influential wireless communications company with millions of customers in Brazil.
They previously charged a fee to their customers for each text message sent or received; needless to say the service was not used very often.
Oi began offering 50 free text messages within the Oi network to their customers.
It is now possible to send free text messages among various networks including Oi, Nextel, Claro, and Vivo regardless of the technology of the mobile phone (GSM or CDMA).
Recently, the Oi cell phone company revolutionized free SMS service and introduced a web service to send free text messages to any mobile phone in Brazil.
This web service is called Oi Torpedo.
Oi allows this Oi Torpedo service to be available on most third-party websites.
You can be anywhere in the world from the United States to China and can use this service as long as you have access to the Internet.
It is fast and reliable.
Besides being able to reach colleagues, friends, and family, this service opens up new opportunities for small businesses.
Small businesses can now reach out to their customer base and send out advertisements without worrying about the costs.
Starting to use this free service is extremely easy.
You must first go to the OI website or to a third-party site providing this service and enter the name of your mobile carrier.
You then fill in the phone number starting with the area code (known as DDD number in Brazil) and the phone number each in its own box.
Now you have 121 characters to express what is on your mind.
Finally, you have to type in the conformation letters (CAPTCHA) before sending your text message.
It is that easy!
