Hi Lisa This one's not free, but the costs seem reasonable and transparent Cheers Jeremy Jeremy Linskell CEng, CSci, MIPEM Principal Clinical Scientist Electronic Assistive Technology Service Ninewells Hospital NHS Tayside tel: 01382-496286 fax:01382-496322 Editorial Board Member of Journal of Assistive Technologies http://pierprofessional.metapress.com/content/121393 ________________________________ From: A discussion list for Assistive Technology professionals.

I Searched Google UK for "online texting sms" and it came up with this lot: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox&tbo=1&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&tbs=rltm%3A1&as_q=online+texting+sms&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=y&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=countryGB&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images A lot say that they are free, which sounds a bit dubious. There was a a warning on this free online sms site - about free sms sites and advertising: http://www.onlinetextmessage.com/ Would composing the message on the computer and blutoothing it to the phone be another possibility? I came across this for Mac http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/email_messaging/bluetoothtexter.html and there seem to be lots of ways to do it on a Windows PC: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=i40&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&q=bluetooth+sms+windows&meta=&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= Best wishes, Liz On 25 March 2010 16:36, Price Lisa <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Hi One of my clients is a switch user but wants to text. We've talked about the click to phone but it is prohibitively expensive, so are looking at free on-line texting. Can anyone suggest where to point her to? I am hoping to set her up with a keo for PC access. Also she has a great voice so was wondering about combining the keo with Dragon - has anyone any experience of this?
