No, this is absolutely not true, regarding SMS text messaging.
It IS true that you can use BlackBerry Messenger, for messaging from any BlackBerry to another, anywhere in the world, for free, but it DOES REQUIRE subscription to a BlackBerry Data Plan on your service provider account.

  • UK iphone user wanting to send free SMS

    I've read a few articles such as this one:
    http://lifehacker.com/398539/send-free-sms-messages-using-the-aim-iphone-app
    explaining how you can use the AIM instant messaging application on the iPhone to send SMS messages to other mobile users for free.
    I've tried sending messages to a couple of UK mobile numbers via the AIM app but I get an error message back saying:
    Unable to send IM
    +44xxxxxxxxxx is unable to receive offline messages.
    From the instructions I've read about it, there doesn't seem to be a distinction between US cell numbers or other countries (such as UK).
    I'm not sure if I'm adding the number in the right place in the buddy details, or whether there's another issue I'm not aware of.
    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or how to do this in the UK?

    Don't think it is supported now I've looked on AIM website.
    Yes, get 500 free texts but am a heavy texter and don't want to have to pay even more for O2's unlimited text bolt-on, so a free-text app would be useful (but maybe not realistic!)

    how can i send multiple sms from my i phone 4

    Turn Group Messaging (instructions in lin that follows) off and send the message to multiple recipients. The result may be dependent on your carrier. If manually keying in numbers rather than using contacts, use the return key after each number. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

  • I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages.

    I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages. iMessages works fine. I have checked the setting, and message sending to SMS is activated. I have also reset my phone. Could you advise on why I can not do this please?

    Hi 
    It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
    If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
    Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
    Let me know how you get on.
    Thanks.

    SMS is a cellular carrier function.  Contact your cellular carrier and make sure you are correctly set up with an SMS plan.

  • After upgrading to the new iOS7, I can't send out sms, I can receive sms, can make and receive call. I have already contacted my network provider, we changed sim card, I have tried to put my sim on other phone, and it's perfectly working. Help me pls

    To be honest not being able to send or recieve messages and data is a carrier issue, not a phone issue since u said that your calls are working, if i were you my first course of action would be to get a new sim card from virgin mobile, or to restore the device as new one more time, if you restore the device as new AND get a new sim card from your carrier and those features still dont work, i would take the device to an apple store

  • Iphone 5 can not send out sms

    my iphone 5 can not send out sms since i changed to this iphone 5 on 8th oct , i have reset the phone many times,
    i have restored also.
    i put the sim to another i phone 5, it worked perfectly, when i put other sim card into this problem iphone 5,sms can not
    send also.
    therfore it is concluded it is the iphone problem rather the sim/provider problem.
    how do i get apple to replace a new iphone 5.
    for information, a few of my friends are having the same problems.
    please advise on next course of action.

    What you have to do is a clean restore inside of iTunes. A backup is required just so your iPhone isn't erased.

    If the problem still happens, you need to setup your iPhone as a new device.
