sonork: 100.18128 8028finder.comI once read an article about why it will never become popular in the U.S. and why it's insanely popular in Europe and other countries. If I can find it within the next few days I'll post it. Short story, the U.S. has many other options available that lessen the 'got to have it'-ness of sms. I'll look for the article this weekend. -Sean ---- "I'm a breast man."

sonork: 100.18128 8028finder.comDo you ask this as a user or developer? (Do you need to lease an IP line, or just send messages through your phone?) Here is a list of SMSC dial-up servers around the world. I don't know how up-to-date it is, though.. SMSC dial-up's /moliate
Two o'clock and walking through familiar London - Or what was familiar London before the cursor deleted certain certainties - I watch a suit and tie man giving suck to the Psion Organizer lodged in his breast pocket its serial interface like a cool mouth hunting his chest for sustenance, familiar feeling, and I'm watching my breath steam in the air.

Why do girls write without correct punctuation and spelling? :laugh: Cell fones? I know they do it on purpose..but why? ;P After a poor performance in London in 1899, Steinitz went insane and died a year later on August 12, 1900 at Wards Island, N.Y.

It isn't popular because most of the time you can only send messages to people with the same provider but it is here, nobody uses the term sms though. -:suss:Matt Newman / Windows XP Activist:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179

A country where you vote for a person and he/she does not have to consult his electorate on every issue is not a democracy. It's a dictatorship, just limited to 4 years.

sonork: 100.18128 8028finder.comSMS rocks. Over here they cost about 10pence per message. They work out cheaper than a voice chat over a mobile and you can keep them as you would an email. The fact that people say "Its easier to talk than to type messages on a phone" contradicts the existance of email. Why email when you can phone? Benefits of email. • Instant delivery of your message • Available 365 days, 24 hours per day (unlike most voice calls) • Cheap - charges are local call rates • Facility to send the same message to more than one person • Can store the message forever These apply to SMS as well.

That would be bad. It has to do with the cell phone type. They all use their own "standard" and they don't seem to work together.

Interesting! On the website, my state isn't listed and service is not available. But just down the street, next door to the SuperWalmart, is a Cingular store. I wonder what they're selling? Tin cans, buttons, and kite string?:laugh: I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!
