sending sms to tigo mobiles via their website

Until today I have always been able to send SMS messages to colombian mobiles (tigo network) via the tigo (or as it was known ola) websites.

I can't find this facility anymore on www.tigo.com.co

does anyone know how to send sms messages free via the net?

cheers

Still available It seems like they have a newer way to do this. Try clicking on the "Envia Gratis tus mensajes a traves de la web" link at the bottom right. This pops up a window where you can send messenges. It seems a little weird and I'm not sure if it works.

I can't verify that it works because my girlfriend has a Tigo phone, but she is at her parents' finca and doesn't get coverage there so I have to call the land line at the finca. I will post my results tomorrow afternoon.
