For sometime, I have been looking for an online service that allows users to send free SMS messages to Malawi. A few days ago, I stumbled on Wadja, a social networking website, like Orkut, Facebook and Myspace, which goes one step beyond the rest by providing FREE SMS across the world. After signing up, I managed to send a couple of free SMS messages to my family in Malawi. I also configured the system in such a way that the replies come straight to my mobile phone. I am now using this service on a regular basis. If this trend continues, expect to see less of me on Facebook.
Unlike many other social networks, Wadja does not rely on users bringing a social group to the service. Many social networking sites rivals are only truly useful for a user if their peers have signed up to the service, as the services are often contained within the network. For instance, currently, I do not have any friends in my Wadja network but I am already enjoying their service to the fullest.

Hi Clement,
Alex from Wadja here
Saw your post, I am happy you enjoy the site and are able to truly connect and communicate with family and friends.
As you correctly wrote, wadja is not about locking you into a network or platform..we just want to help our users get their message to their friends, family, and contacts.
We are building a lot of great new features to the site as well. We just added Email POP3 and Email Forwarding support. Soon you will have Schedule Messaging, and SMS Alerts for tasks, events and holidays
Great blog
Cheers, Alex
Thanks for that Clement, will check it out. Hope you had a good Christmas.
@Alex: Thanks for bringing a new dimension to social networking. Apart from this blog post, I publicized wadja on stumbleupon and on my Facebook profile. A lot of my friends and blog followers will be joining this network in the coming days.I wish your team all the best as you continue to introduce more and more innovative features.
Cheers.
Great post and very useful indeed. But is it really being offered for free. Would they not use the numbers collected to do their online marketing or even sell the list for marketing companies and thus starting a whole new spamming avenue?
