Mark Cell phone SMS & call

My cell phone is with TIM. The number is 338-647-9820. So to call you'd dial 011-39-647-9820 (add a # at the end to trigger the Stanford access code request). Calling me will be expensive because it's a cell phone.

Paging and SMS

This should be free and you can send a short message (like telling me to start up an AOL IM session or a Skype session for talking over the Internet).

New site (no registration needed)

this and the site below seem to change slightly from week to week....

• http://www.modellisticanavale.it/servizi/sms.asp
• Or maybe this one is more direction: http://www.crmitalia.it/sms-fast-spot-free.asp

Looks like this one just lets you put in the number (338-647-9820) and type a short message without doing anything else.

TIM site (need to login)

First, go the the TIM website. you should get a page that looks like the picture below. Click on the menu item at left for "SMS da web" (SMS from the web), which I've encircled with a blue box.

At this point you'll get a form asking for my name (enter my cellphone number: 3386479820) and password (enter: 7234258). Once you hit OK you will see a page that looks like this:

Here it is important to click on the option at the right (encircled in a green box) that will take you to the FREE ("SMS gratis") message option. The main menu costs money and gives a receipt to confirm delivery.

Finally you get the form for sending a free SMS message. Enter my cell phone number in the space shown and type in your message. Click "INVIA" to send it off.
