Great news! Gizmo5 is offering TEN free SMS texting from June 12th - June 26th, 2008 to any mobile number in the world.

Of course, ten is too little but something is better than nothing. If I were to send ten text messages to the United States, I would have to pay RM0.50 per message. Ten will be RM5. Blekkk

However, to enjoy these ten free SMS messages from Giuzmo5, you will need to have at least US$0.25 in your call out balance. If you don’t have it, then too bad. The minimum that you can purchase is US$10 and that would not be worth buying IF you would only want to claim the ten FREE SMS.

As for myself, I have US$0.50 in my account. I don’t even remember why. I think it was a sign-up bonus or something.

I have a Gizmo5 account and installed the application on my Nokia E61i for a long while now. A few days ago, I received a mailer from them informing that we now can get mobile alerts in addition to desktop alerts on Gizmo5 as long as we are logged in, of course.

The concept is pretty simple. Each Gizmo5 user is now assigned with a Gizmo5 email address. So when an occasion arises that you wish to be alerted “on the go”, just use your Gizmo email address.

Here is a screenshot I took from Gizmo5, which pretty much says it all. And according to the mailer, you can use this alert just about anywhere; Google Alerts, eBay, Facebook. Basically just about any website that provides email notifications.

By the way, Gizmo5 is a free service too. Of course, when you are logged onto Gizmo5 on your mobile device, you will be billed for data usage. I am on an unlimited plan, so can log on for long hours, provided I remember to!
