Vopium is a new VOIP calling service similar to Skype and others that are around. However, the rates are quite competitive to say the least. It is powered by WIFI and mobile VOIP technology and can help you save up to 90% on phone calls and cheap SMS.

When you open an account which is fast and easy, you get 30 free SMS first he first month and after that 0.10 euro per sms which is not bad depending on the country that you’re sending it to.

To register you will have to sign up with a valid mobile number and an email address. To confirm your registration they will make a call and you’ll have to dial #1 to be accepted. I’ve never seen this before! But later you’ll receive an sms with your account username and password.The good thing is that your login is your cell phone number! Later you can change the password once you’re in the account.

Confirm your free account online or via mobile. Works on IPHONE, NOKIA, Blackberry and most mobiles

You can send sms messages via web or directly from you mobile phone

The only thing I didn’t like while testing Vopium is there is no address book useful for sending free sms online through the website.

Fish Text is a cheap provider of sending text messages online and from your mobile phone. No email is required which is something I like. I never like being bombarded with emails everyday. However of course the sms alert newsletter on our site only sends emails when we are writing about a new free sms company online. You won’t get advertising in the email just contest and free sms! Ok so back to the review.

Registering is easy can be done online at the website or directly from your mobile phone. A pin will be received my your phone to confirm registration After you register you will receive free credit trial (0.30euros) or send free always to other FishText users!

The fun thing about Fish Text is that you can use your existing mobile number or create a new virtual sms phone number for your friends and for safety reasons if you want to keep yours private. However the virtual number is not free. The cost of the number is 10 pounds or 15 euros per year and it is based in the UK. So you would be virtually located in the U.K. The services however, is for use up to 200 countries so its not limited to the UK.

Sending messages from the account center is very user friendly. You can send a text message anonymously or as your mobile number as the sender. Alternatively, you can use Fish text from your cellphone by visiting the WAP website: http://wap.fishtext.com. The rates are not bad if you do decide to join. I’ve send lowest rates from 0.02 euros. Its great!
