When you have so many it's hard to post to all of them when each service has their own app. That's when a cool new app like Buffer comes along. If you haven't heard of it before., Buffer is a service that...

I can't speak for other countries, but here in the UK most folk have a certain SMS allowance whether on a contract or using pay-as-you-go. The problem is that once the allowance has been used up...
