app for sending abroad?

Is there any app that sends texts internationally?

I use cabbage ultimate over here and its great, but it doesn't allow texts to be sent abroad.

Any ideas?

I use the regular free version of cabbage to texts to New Zealand all the time, works fine for me.

Me too. I think it's a carrier restriction rather than a problem with Cabbage. I use the free version with Vodafone and it works fine to anywhere. To the OP if you log on to the carriers website can you send texts abroad. If the answer to that is no then Cabbage is never going to do it for you.

Yep, I'm with vodafone as well, as a matter of fact, the only reason I use cabbage is because regular texts from my phone won't send (they always fail) to vodafone NZ numbers. Webtext/Cabbage works fine.

I use JaxtrSMS. Free to other Jaxtr users or 10c (US) if non-user. Way better than local rates, unless you have free international webtexts.

Best option:
Skype or Viber or WhatsApp. Free texts/messaging.

Second best option:
Cabbage but only if your provider has international texts. Free texts.

Third best option:
JaxtrSMS but only if you text the USA. Free texts to the USA.

Forth best option:
For most countries -> Rebtel , discounted international texts from 1 cent per minute to 10 cent per minute.

Fifth best option:
ChompSMS where international texts are 8 cent per minute to over 90 countries.

For your best option there does the guy on the other end need to have Skype / Viber / WhatsApp installed or are they free texts to phone numbers?
