n00b question about SMS united mobile

If I buy a united mobile SIM card and get a +423 number, is there a way (like an email to sms service) so that my friends without a cell phone can send me an SMS for free?

Not that I know about. Sorry. SMSbug is about as cheap as you can get. HOWEVER, last time I tried, that did not work. And the SMSbug tech never gave me a definite solution.

MobiSMS has a €0.028 rate to FL1 numbers, but it's a long time I didn't test it on UnitedMobile.

Orange Poland has an integrated message service named Multibox which includes in its basic free version a free e-mail account and a personal SMS gateway. The SMS limit is 30 SMSes per month worldwide (unused SMSes don't "accumulate" in following months). If the limit is too small, the user can buy more SMSes via a premium rate SMS (the price of such SMS is about 3 eurocents). Those bought SMSes never expire as long as the Multibox is active. Each SMS may be up to 640 characters long (if >160 chars, it's split into 2, 3 or 4 messages).
The main problem is that it doesn't have non-Polish user-interface... Perhaps some other Orange elsewhere offers similar functionality....
