I never trust the texting promotions, too risky with hidden charges

I used onlinetextmessage.com so I don't have to worry about charges, but if it's real I probably won't get the Bonsai tree.

5,000 text messages to a cell phone :lol:
Sure hope he or she has an unlimited text messaging plan.
A scan of the magazine AD would be appreciated otherwise I'm passing on this one.

Aren't the #'s for these promotions normally 4 or 5 digits, and not the length of a normal telephone #?

I thought the same, So I'm thinking the OP is to piss off a person or business.

Is gas cheaper in Austin? You must have a lot of money and free time to be driving to this location for a free bonsai tree.

I'm sure they are driving 600 miles while their disabled 17th cousin is giving birth to octuplets and their pet gopher is undergoing life and death surgery, but hey, anything for a freebie, right??
Geesh. Thanks click67 for checking it out. Reps for you!

I did too!
I can also say, I have never had problems with hidden charges on any text freebie. :)
I've always received them as well!
