Rahasms.com offering free sms to East Africa

A new website offering free SMS within East Africa went live yesterday, or so I seem to think. Rahasms.com to me seems to work like previously running sms websites which somehow shut down at some point. You register, activate account, activate number and there you are, 5 SMS messages to any mobile network in East Africa for free. I tried it and sent one to myself, you get 100 characters for your message and the rest of the message is an advert, clearly the business point of it.

While we get these innovative products, one cant stop to wonder, what happens to the consistency of such services?  There was Sasanet, SMS-East Africa, Niaje, someone answer me, where did they all go?

I guess the best thing we can do is enjoy this while it lasts….hope it does!
