Sending SMS texts via O2 website?

[LJ]

I had heard that you could send SMS texts to mobile phones using the www.o2.co.uk website but I cannot work it out how to do this. There is supposed to be a "send a free text message" link, but can't find it. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I am staying in an area in Cornwall with no phone coverage but can get wifi.

Thanks!

Hi @LJ this service was discontinued some years ago so no longer available

Depending on your phone, you might be able to call over WiFi
