Being offline all morning unexpectedly caused me to miss some of the news… who decided the kids need a day off from school on an April Wednesday just because? Oy. Anyway, since so many of the deals and services we report on only seem to apply here in the U.S. it’s nice to turn the tables for a minute and offer something up for 38 other countries as well.No, it’s not much, but it could be very handy. I’m talking about Jaxtr, whose web service sends text messages for free. Not everyone is on an unlimited text messaging plan (like myself, for instance), so you can save some of your precious stash for when you only have a phone. Jaxtr also offers phone services that I’ll probably take a look at in the future; apparently calls used to be Jaxtr to Jaxtr, but it appears that requirement has changed. Is anyone using the service so they can comment on how it works?(via Gear Diary)
