You can send messages to other FishText users free of charge if your recipient’s phone is running the mobile application with the following settings enabled: ‘Allow free SMS’ – this can be activated by selecting Settings > Receive type > Allow free SMS and ‘Check incoming’ is set to a value of 10 minutes or less You should also check that your ‘Send type’ setting is set to ‘Attempt to send for free first’. This can be set on the mobile application by selecting Options > Settings > Send type > Send for free first and online by logging in to your account, following the ‘Settings’ link and changing the ‘Send Options’ to ‘Attempt to send for free first’. If any of the three criteria detailed above is not met you will be charged for sending messages to another FishText user, as the message will be delivered via the mobile networks rather than via the FishText server.
