Unknown to most mobile users (actually they know but they choose to ignore), text messaging can cost a fortune. So, Zipit Wireless’ announcement of free and unlimited text messaging is most welcome. The company, makers of the Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 (Z2), announced that for the next three months the company is offering one year of free text messaging with the purchase of its portable, wireless messenger. The addition of this feature offers new Z2 users truly free and unlimited text and instant messaging with no contracts or commitments.

To qualify for the free texting offer, the Z2 must be purchased and activated by July 31, 2008. Consumers who do not purchase their unit during the promotional period will still receive 10 free text messages per month and can take advantage of one of the best values for texting in the industry – unlimited texts for one year for $29.99, compatible with more than 20 cellular carriers. The unlimited texting offer is based on reasonable personal usage of 5,000 incoming and 5,000 outgoing messages per month.
