Not sure if this has been posted before but this works, I've tested a few times.

Pretty awesome.

Pretty neat! Very good for people in the states that need to get ahold of an expat/belizean in a hurry.

enjoy

Worked for me. Don't use the link. Just type freetext.bz in your browser.

I sent one just now and had a call from the recipient within a couple of minutes. Great facility! Thanks for posting this.

Should have said - I sent it from my computer here in Belize, with no VPN running (so it's clearly detectable that I'm here).

Only in America (as far as I know) do you have to pay to receive a call/message on a mobile phone. In Britain and I believe the whole of Europe it would be illegal. In Belize we don't pay to receive calls, only to make them.

incoming texts are free. that being said, this isnt a regular text/data message. Im not sure how exactly it works. I will test and check my minutes, then send a message then check again to see if i got charged anything. brb...

1 minute later... yeap no difference in my balance. So confirmed this is free on both ends.
