There are lots of gimmicks and stuffs in the net. Some are offering freebies and free services. Does anyone think of having a website purely that offers free text messaging international? Have you ever think that openning like that would be a great success in net since other search engines and chat sites offers a part of it.

I know of Yahoo Messenger doing this text-based messaging but I prefer calling rather than sending a message through text. Also I rather use email because I could save messages in their. Anyhow, could you please provide some advantages in using text-based messages?
