Text messaging from the web

In Canada who wants to pay 15 cents, or a monthly plan, just to send a text message? Especially when carriers use 'empty space on the truck' to deliver SMS messages.

I use Web2SMS which unfortunately does not let you reply with the exception of Fido and Rogers.

Text for free:
Telus:

Rogers/Fido:

Bell: (i have had limited success with Bell)
http://www.txt.bell.ca/bell/en/
Solo Mobile:

Koodo Mobile

You can also email mobiles using the following addresses:

[10digitnumber]@txt.bell.ca
[10digitnumber]@pcs.rogers.com
[10digitnumber]@fido.ca
[10digitnumber]@msg.telus.com
[10digitnumber]@vmobile.ca (Virgin Mobile)
[10digitnumber]@mobiletxt.ca (PC Mobile)
[10digitnumber]@msg.koodomobile.com

Happy texting!
