3/three.co.uk’s MyGallery moblog
This isn’t a new innovation — it’s been around for a good few months. I signed up for My Gallery when it came out to give it a go, see what it was like. I’ve used it a few times. It’s simple to use: You just text your image to shortcode 3333 and it’s written […]
Text yourself a Coca Cola from the vending machine
Why don’t I see anything cool like this when I’m walking about in London? Wicked! Check out the image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shimmertje/95150910/ No idea how reliable or accurate it is Looks pretty accurate if you rate m-travel’s story from 2001: Here .. and then assume the trials went really well and the service is now fully operational.

Free Vodafone 3G card with every new Dabs.com laptop purchased
This is a pretty nifty offer particularly while 3g data cards are still quite new. I think it’s a good deal for both www.dabs.com and Vodafone. Here’s how it works: Buy a laptop from Dabs (that has a PCMCIA slot to take the 3g card). Dabs are pitching the entry level £429 ex VAT Acer […]
Jajah worth a look
Not strictly about SMS this posting, more about VOIP than anything else. I got this primarily from the PhoneAddict blog (http://phoneaddict.blogspot.com/) and then had a look for some other opinions. Jajah is billed by some as a Skype killer. Or David vs Goliath. Not sure about this — as I think they’re addressing a slightly […]
T-Mobile unlimited texting… why don’t we have this in Britain?
I was reading Nick Starr’s blog where he laments the idiot rules that T-mobile USA stand by. He wanted to swap from his Sidekick (with unlimited texting on that plan) to using his RAZR phone (also on T-mobile, but without an unlimited texting plan). Obviously T-mobile aren’t allowing him to swap or carry over minutes. […]
Texting during your Uni lectures is fine… just don’t make any noise
Duvall, who is annoyed in class by ringing cell phones, has no complaints about texting and he doesn’t think that his professors do either. "They have to see people playing with their phone, but they don’t seem to mind as long as there’s no noise," Duvall said. Not everyone’s impressed at in-class texting though, as […]

Update on Indian cricket scores delivered by SMS is proprietary information
An update on this blog from yesterday. I have a real problem with a match owner asserting that live score information is proprietary content and can only be delivered to end-users by their approved supplier. How can the number "5" (for example) be proprietary information? In the context of a cricket match, if BBC Radio […]
Alfie of moblog.co.uk comments on recent MMS survey
Gah I should have asked Alfie’s opinion earlier seeing as he is running www.moblog.co.uk! Alfie has posted a comment to the article I published recently commenting on In-Stat’s recent MMS survey, reporting less than a third of cameraphone owners bothered using MMS. Apart from price (obviously a key issue), Alfie comments: People need to be […]
