How to do it
- 1
Write your message
Write a short, neutral test message (for example "This is a test message").
- 2
Enter the recipient's number
Enter a French mobile (06 or 07). The message goes out from a shared gateway, at no cost to you.
- 3
Confirm the send
A short 60-second countdown precedes the send to prevent abuse. Confirm: the free SMS goes out within seconds.
The service is free and open to everyone, but being free doesn't cover unlawful uses: harassment, threats and identity theft are prohibited. Sends are logged and may be disclosed to the authorities upon judicial request. Use this service lawfully and respectfully.
Frequently asked questions
Will I know whether the SMS was received?
No. The gateway confirms that the message was accepted, not that it was displayed on the phone: there's no delivery receipt. The absence of an error doesn't guarantee it was read.
Can I test a landline or a foreign number?
No. The service only sends to French mobiles starting with 06 or 07.
