If you have a friend or relative who lives in another country, you can send a free international text message online. This is a convenient option if your cell phone company does not text free messages to other countries. The text messages, also called SMS messages, must be less than 140 characters long. Some of these free websites let users send an unlimited amount of text messages per day. However, you will not be able to receive a text message back from the individual.
