SMS Gratis is an application that lets you send real SMS messages to your friends from any cell phone, not only Smartphones.
You can use SMS Gratis from your Android with a few simple rules:
1 SMS = 1 Credit in your country
1 SMS = 2 Credits outside your country
1 SMS Scheduled = +0,2 Credits

Choose your country when using the application for the first time. If you have not yet validated your number you can change it in 'Settings' -> 'Insert phone number', otherwise you must delete the validated number.

SMS Gratis sends actual messages and is not an Instant Messaging Client. It allows the anonymous sending of text messages and the personalization of the sender. It can also send messages all over the world with total country coverage.

Credits are at the heart of SMS Gratis. You can check your credit balance in 'Settings' -> 'Available credits'.
You´ll find the Cents bar graph below the number of credits.

100 Cents = 1 Credit

When the bar is full, you get a credit.

Earn credits from the apps: Go to 'Download App!', Download other apps, go to Tapjoy, download one of the recommended apps... and Launch it!

The Magic Clock is the clock that can be found on the top right of every page of the application. It is the mechanism that regulates the supply and use of potential user bonus credits. Its algorithm is secret. In our view the Magic Clock is stimulated through the use of the application and we want our users, through the downloading and daily use of SMS Gratis, to understand its working dynamics and build their own personal user experience. However, here are some useful tips.
When you first install the Magic Clock it is a Gray color but every time it makes a full circle it turns Green.
When the Magic Clock is Green it means that it is about to give bonus credits, so the next steps will be the lucky ones! If however the Magic Clock is Red then you better be worried because there will be no bonuses for you, so be careful not to make it turn Red. To make it turn Green you just need to wait for it to go around completely a few times!

SMS Gratis tells you when your messages are delivered. You only have to check if under your messages is written 'Delivered' or if a green check appears.

If you are interested in receiving these adverts but cannot see them on your screen, check your Internet connection, the presence of antivirus software on your phone, or the installation of advert blocking. If you have checked and your error report is not listed in the above 3, we probably don´t have listings available! We apologize for the inconvenience and ask you to try again later.

Unfortunately this is bad practice on the part of some advertisers who charge without the authorization of the user. SMS Gratis works with the main advertisers of the sector. It is they who collect the insertions and then decide to send them to the applications of their customers, without providing any information. Applications like SMS Gratis do not therefore know the contents of the adverts that are shown. We are aware of the seriousness of the situation and we continuously report the issue to those who provide us with adverts.

To know in advance the misleading banners that we have reported, please check the news scroll that can be found below the 'I feel lucky' section to know which banners not to trust.

The best thing to do is to report the service to your telephone line provider, ask them to deactivate it and to reimburse any eventual costs that have been debited without authorization.
