I was searching all over the internet for this because I wanted a way to figure out how to use my blog or other social sites for people to send text messages to me even if they didn't have a cell phone and then I could respond back to them so tcahhey can stay in touch with me all for a cheap price. That’s when I found Chat to Text. I just love the idea!

Chat to Text is a new service which allows anyone who visits any web site set up with Chat to Text the ability to chat by text messages to a designated cell phone, without giving out the cell phone number.

The company is based in Stuart, FL. Chat to Text has been launched successfully, targeted primarily at users of social networking sites such as MySpace, FaceBook, and Bebo but can also be added to virtually any web site using a simple script provided by the service.

Until now, texting has required both parties to have a cell phone, and to have each other’s cell phone number. The Chat to Text makes it possible for visitors to a web site to send a text through a window on the site and receive a response within moments, all without the need for a cell phone and without knowing the cell phone number they are sending the chat message to.

The launch of the service at the end of Feb. 2009 was met with great enthusiasm from the many users of social networking sites, as well as from people who want to receive instant chat from customers and prospective customers visiting a business website.

Teens and young people love to chat online, and love to send text messages. Now Chat to Text allows them to do both. The new service also enables customers to earn referral fees by telling others about Chat to Text. Each customer receives an affiliate website link that they can give to friends and family and get credit for each person who signs up using that link.

Some are content to earn enough referral fees to cover the $6 monthly cost, but many realize it is a quick, easy way to earn a substantial extra monthly income. Within days of the launch many have earned very large referral fees that are paid over and over again, month after month.

Features include the ability to turn the chat window on and off, set a schedule of chat availability, block certain people from the chat, save the chat history, and even customize the chat window with a photo and more. The biggest attraction may well be the affiliate referral commissions offered to everyone using the service.

The chat and text service costs about $6 a month for unlimited text chatting for residents of the United States and Canada. It is quick and easy to enroll and then set it up on virtually any web site.

I will cation that if you have limited text on your phone - then you need to be careful as you could end up getting more text messages then you want and go over your limit, but if you have unlimited then it’s fine.

Also remember that you can turn it off to stop the messages or block certain people if they are becoming abusive with the messaging.
