I have been using this service too for the last 4 months. It is pretty cool in that it sends a copy of the message to your email. So you don't need to be sitting in front of your computer to receive messages. And it is really cheap. I think i get about 500 messages for $20. One thing I didn't care for is that you cant send messages from your phone through this service. You must use the computer terminal. Maybe that problem goes away if you have a internet data plan on your phone. Since I have upgraded my phone I have not tried it. Another problem that I ran into is when I first got it I used it for just one lady I had been communicating with and Just entered her number into the directory. Later as I added other people, Friend and family I had a directory of just numbers with no names. After sending the wrong message to the wrong people a couple of times I cleaned up the directory and added names and hometown to avoid the confusion. It not really a problem with the service was my lack of discipline to keep the directory tidy and complete.
