We have good news for you: The 50 free SMS are finally working. And the deadline to use them up is now the 13th of October (Maybe two days longer). If you don't use up the 50 free ones till then they expire (of course if you write more than 50 you pay for the additional ones). Andy tested it on his phone a few minutes and it worked. So it should work for everyone (just make sure you are using the rate "nonstop". Read here how to change your rate).
