Saving money on text messaging

I’ve just discovered something small, but nifty. I work as a lecturer, and many students text me. I guess that’s the culture in my university and it’s somehow encouraged. However texting back and forth with students, plural, is gonna cost. I discovered a few days ago that my cell phone provider has a website that allows me to text people, who are using the same service provider, for free! There is a limit of 3 text messages per day, however. That’s $0.15 saved per day.

In my country, we have a saying: a little soil at a time makes a hill one day (Sedikit-sedikit lama menjadi bukit).
