mobiK.com sends SMS from either an Internet Browser or a mobile phone to most world destinations. It’s free and ad-supported. Each message is appended with an ‘ad tag’ from the sponsors.

mobiK Coverage List provides a summary of all the mobile carriers covered by the mobiK. To insure coverage, please check that there is an ad sponsor in your region. These countries appear in blue highlight in the list. mobiK will only deliver a TXT message into a recipient region if there is an active sponsor. This changes frequently, so be sure to check the current status of our regional advertising coverage.

Both the sender and the receiver needs to be registered in the mobiK network for this free service. If you get anyone else to join, then those TXT’s are free as well. Whenever you invite new members or get involved with the promotions, mobiK gives you some ‘K’ which you can exchange for shopping at mobiK.
