Not anymore you don't I had an email from them the other week saying they were closing their free sms service as of the 18th of March. The only way you can get these now is to register for their mail service for which they charge £2.99 a month.

Fonetastic.co.uk give ten free SMS per day and you can earn credits with them. Could it be them?

Incidentally I'm looking for a way to send multiple text messages in bulk to many phones. Any ideas on software for this?

I've never tested this but it should work.

Just google "email to SMS gateway address" and search for the carrier you want.

According to this website O2 is 44n @ mmail.co.uk where n is the phone number.

Just stick your message (150 characters) in the subject line and send the email. This require no registration and there are no limits.

I am not sure if charges are made to the user recieving them.

yeah, the site was completed, it worked and operated perfectly as expected, then my business partner -the person who was meant to know all about promotion and advertising- didn't do anything, so no business was gained and the site has been closed down..

i do however still have the site, i just need the backing and a host..

the short code number is easy to get hold of again, and the site is still functional once uploaded and database created...
