@twitter So, why isn't twitter using 1 or more of these http://tinyurl.com/ast5so services to substitute for SMS in UK?

I’ll go ahead and send them all an invite online David! And in the meantime, get myself a better phone!

Ewan you are right that Hotxt runs like a dog on the SE550 (we are asking SE why) which is a shame cos we really like the way that the SEs can run Hotxt in the background. Some other things that you might like to point out to your friends:
1) Hotxt push technology which means that messages are delivered in an instant with really low data overheads compared to the other guys that use polling.
2) Hotxt connects to the SMS world and for now we are not charging for Hotxt Out (5 a day free).
3) Hotxt includes a sophisticated alert system so you know when you have a message even if you are not connected at the time
4) Hotxt servers are housed at considerable expense with full fail over, 7×24 hour monitoring and all that you would expect from a professional messaging service.
5) We also have great free technical support.

BFN- David
