Hi

Regretfully no. O2 used to have a text service on the Web however that has recently ended.

There are some free sms systems on the Web that include adverts. Try www.cbfsms.com (I think they are still going but haven't checked for a long time). If not Google free sms.

And yet the page is still there and its third in the Google listings for the search query "send a text from the O2 website".

Thats twenty minutes of my life I wont get back looking for a non existent service/link.

Must be 5 years now that it hasn't been available. Can you feed it back again @Toby?

I use MightyText linked to my phone from the laptop. Texts aren't free though, they come from your allowance though most tariffs are now unlimited texts.

Very useful. I get notifications for everything on the laptop and can dismiss the notifications on the phone.

All we can do is feedback - it's up to the web team to implement any changes.

Hi @Anonymous,

Sorry to hear that! I'll raise this with the rest of the team to get it sorted.

Just fell for the same thing, trying to find the online text page 😞 was a life saver from time to time that thing but sadly I've just wasted an hour trying to find it 😞

Must have been a while since you were in need of a life saving text

This help page is still there. My phone's been off for repair for two weeks and I need to send some texts, so I've just spent ages looking for the link mentioned on the help page.

Finding the link won't help though.
You can download Tugo to any compatible device to send your texts though.
Worth doing when you get your phone back working for if you get in the same situation in the future.
