If you have an iPhone or any Android phone, why not try out HeyWire which allows you to text for free anywhere around the world (check coverage here - Malaysia's Celcom, Digi and Maxis are included). All you need to do is to download the app (AppStore / Android Market). With this app, you can use it for texting (or sms), Facebook Chat, Twitter and IM (Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Google Chat) all under a single application. When you sign up for it, you will be given a real phone number as an identification and you can use it to text for free, so long as your family member/friend send/receive the message using HeyWire's app**. Now, if you have used it on your iPhone or Android phone, the have a beta version which you can use it on your Mac or PC.
