Hotxt launches Web-based service for unlimited text messages

A British mobile software developer launched a flat-fee text messaging service that allows users to send unlimited messages for $1.75 a week. RCRNews reports.

Hotxt.com, which describes its service as a kind of Skype for text messagers, uses the Internet to send messages between wireless users. The company is targeting its new service at 16- to 25-year-olds, claiming that a user who sends seven texts a day will save $367 over the course of a year.

... Hotxt said its service works on all Java-enabled phones on U.K. networks except from pre-paid handsets from O2 and 3."
