As much as I miss the monthly cell phone plans of our homeland, I just learned about some news that I thought was really exciting. You can text me for FREE from the United States. That’s right folks… Absolutely 100% free with no charge to you OR me. How great, no?
Here’s how you do it…
FIRST go to this site… it’s in Spanish but I’ll walk you through it. It’s simple even if you don’t speak Spanish (push control and click simultaneously on this link and you’ll go right there):

SECOND type my cell phone number under “Para”.
My number is 77694745
THIS MEANS that you drop down the “76″ option under “Para” and change it to “77″… that’s the first two digits of my phone number. Then type the remaining numbers into the blank space.
THIRD write me a message under “texto”. This section can be in English if you’d prefer. 
FOURTH copy the pictured letters into the blank under “Codigo”
FIFTH sign your name under “Firma” so I know who you are.
SIXTH send away! Just press “Enviar” and you’re in bussiness. One completely free text message sent to the Southern Hemisphere. Awesome, huh? I think so.
Anyway, post any questions you have about this and I’ll be sure to answer back. If I didn’t specify a certain section leave it blank!
Even if you are completely unfamiliar with “texting” or have nothing of great importance to say to me, send me a text message anyway! It’d be great to hear from you AND you get to send a free text message to South America. Whoo!
