This just in — Yahoo! Mail beta is now offering free text messaging to mobile phones. According to DownloadSquad, this service is only available for US, Canada, India and the Philippines. You’ll need to switch to the new Yahoo! Mail in order to send messages to phones in those four countries mentioned. Your contact should also have a valid mobile phone in their profile. Yahoo! Messenger is also integrated in the new Outlook-like interface.

A serviceman of PLDT disconnected the SMARTBRO-line for Internet Thursday April 14 2011, because I changed to PLDT 990 Combination.
Please take notice.

It’s fast and it’s easy. Try it.
I maintain 1 copy of each of my stories simply because I require to know which journal has rejected or accepted each story. What you are really selling is First British Copyright. The story belongs to you, although here I would suggest that promoting the same story to various magazines is a little impolite in that every journal wants to be individual and various. Imagine the disappointment of an editor to discover that competing magazines have the same story.
Traffic exchange is an example of a way to get noticed also. Not sure how many people use them but they still work.
Interesting information, I love reading anything Google Adwords related.
Amazing site! love the easy layout
If your going for DELL get the XPS model.

In other news, Philippine portal Yehey! is still playing catch up.
You can actually text via gmail(or rather through the gtalk applet).
Just add the ‘mobilenumber’@chikkatalk.com as your gtalk contact.
thanks for the update.. anyway Im already using Free international TXT from YAHOO, two months ago via their WIDGETS… just download the widgets in yahoo’s download site…
@jhay actually gmail already has a free sms but only for US telcos. this is what i’m using to text wifey in the U.S.
@Abe – I’ll try it out later. So when can we expect that comparative review? :)
I wonder when will Gmail follow suit? ;)
Accdg. to the article that i read, The new version of Yahoo Mail will roll out globally over the next six weeks starting today.
My next laptop purchase will definitely be a MacBook. I should be able to do first-hand comparative review of both by then. ;)
Oops, sorry for digressing frpom the topic. I should have emailed. Sorry, talaga. Hang over.
Abe,
I searched for a PC vs Mac entry and found some of your posts unsatisfying. I’m being presumptuous but maybe you could do a post on laptops. Mac vs PC laptops. Should be good for traffic, too.
For Filipinos, what is the best deal. Apple has an Apple care center, so with an additional 15k you’re set for 3 years. PC laptops are very problematic on that respect, especially with the new Vista OS. And why do PC laptops cost more than Macs here? Take Lenovo for instance. You can buy them 50% cheaper underground but on the official lenovo Philippines site a 512 core duo costs P80k.
Many Filipinos who can afford it opt to schedule their next laptop buy with their next Hong Kong trip. A great idea since Dells are even cheaper there than in the U.S.
So what’s your take. I have no problems with my Dell inspiron 700m at all. The best screen, still is. Probably comparable with the inspiron 1420 1440 x 900 truebrite. Two years na tong 700m ko. It doesn’t even hang up even when I’m multi-tasking. Lenovos are legendary when it comes to durability.
They’re not completely rolled it out. Mine’s still in beta.
@ jayps, same set up as the YM to SMS I guess.
According to Techcrunch, Yahoo! Mail is now out of beta
Does this work like Chikka where the person who receives the SMS has to reply in order for you to continue sending SMS? I hope not. :)
