A new iPhone application offers you the ability to circumvent paying $15 dollars a month to AT&T for unlimited texting by doing it through e-mail instead.  Costing $5 through the iPhone Apps Store, the way SMS Touch works is it lets you write text messages on iPhone but automatically sends them, using your phone book, as an e-mail. Then when someone sends you a reply text message, it does the exact same thing, converting it from a text message into an e-mail by the time it reaches your phone. 

It's not bad, but only works with an iPhone and still costs $5 while The Cell Freak's Free Worldwide SMS service costs exactly zero and works with all cell phones. There's no software to download, you don't need a data plan, and you can always send as many free SMS messages as you want. 

Maybe I'm just bias, but that's a much better deal.
