•The TextMe tool provides a safe way to receive text messages from visitors to websites, blogs, auctions and social networking profiles. Visitors text a keyword followed by their message to a standard long number, which ensures no premium rate charges. CardBoardFish then forwards this message to any mobile number in over 200 countries. TextMe users can respond to their visitors if they wish by replying to the message. Both the sender and receiver mobile numbers are kept private.
•With SMSBlog, users can post updates to their page at any time by sending text messages from their mobile phone. Whether sharing gossip, planning a party or just telling everyone their mood, if it can't wait then SMSBlog is the fastest way to post to the web.
•SMSPoll is a fun, straightforward application allowing visitors to vote in a poll by text message. The visitor simply texts a keyword followed by their selection to a standard UK mobile number and the results are displayed online.
•SMSComments can be used on a page wherever visitor feedback is wanted making it perfect for placing at the end of an article or post. Asking visitors to send in their comments by text helps to cut down on spam and other nuisance messages.
•All of the code needed for the tools is generated automatically for the user in an online account, which also provides access to settings and tool management including the ability to block selected mobile numbers.
•Users can change how their tools look using CSS. A guide is provided to make this feature accessible regardless of CSS knowledge, and several examples demonstrate the basic modifications.

This means no marketing messages, and the numbers will always remain private.
Quotes:
Quotes attributed to CardBoardFish Director of New Media, Ben Fitter:
"With over a billion text messages being sent each week in the UK alone, it's clear that the world has fallen in love with this simple method of communication. Webmaster SMS Tools bridges the gap between websites, blogs and profiles, and the mobile phone, allowing for a more meaningful interaction between authors and visitors."
"TextMe is a spectacular tool that is long overdue, making it completely safe for webmasters, bloggers and social networkers to talk to their visitors by text message. Nobody wants to give out their mobile phone number to a stranger, and the Internet is full of those, but the danger to children who put their mobile numbers online is particularly prominent. With TextMe, the user retains complete control."
