    Bom dia companheiros, com certeza enviar um torpedo web de graça está cada vez mais oneroso devido ao bloqueio das operadoras de celular. Há ainda serviços de terceiros (sites) que prometem entregar meu SMS mas nem sempre chegam destinatário final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que prometem que mandam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as meus torpedos? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de comprar?. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil achar bons sites para enviar SMS gratuito.
