The Register has a story about BT having to suspend their BT SMS Self Service facility: The service – BT SMS Self Service – lets punters text BT to see when their phone bill was last paid or to find progress on a fault. BT began trialling the service last month as part of a […]
HOT: Sony Ericsson backs Microsoft Activesync
VNUnet is carrying a story confirming Microsoft has managed to get Sony Ericsson to license the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to: ..Enable wireless synchronisation between Exchange Server 2003 and Sony Ericsson’s forthcoming P990 and M600 smartphones.

Sony Ericsson M600 3g Phone
I was just admiring the new Sony Ericsson M600 3g phone as recently reviewed by the people at www.3g.co.uk here: http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/Feb2006/2564.htm 1.5cm thick? Sony really are pumping out some super devices recently. I’ve got the 700i one on ’3′ and it’s really very good. In particular, I’ve always found the cameras to be superior compared […]
Yahoo Go! — Ahh just can’t doooo it kapptannnn
I’ve been reading copious amounts of notes and reviews about the Yahoo Go! service. I was very excited to hear about it at the recent CES show and I watched Terry Semel’s pitch. I got very excited.

Unlimited texts for life on Vodafone for students
Still on the Observer texting article, I had to do a new blog for this subject: If you are a student it’s worth asking the networks about special deals. Vodafone, for example, offers a ‘joy of text’ tariff for anyone with an NUS card. The deal is available all year round, but is advertised only […]

HOT: o2 business give unlimited calls to other o2 users for £20/month
Another hot one for today. So I’m not an o2 user. I don’t know anyone who uses o2. That’s apparently 15 million people who I don’t know at all. Weird, eh? I’m sure someone in my address book actually uses o2, but I’m not aware of it. Anyway I thought it was time to mark […]
HOT: Tom Baker voicing BT’s text to landline service
I had to do another note on BT’s recently upgraded SMS to landline service. I was listening to the Chris Moyles podcast last night (www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/) and they’d sent a few texts to a landline and recorded Tom Baker’s voice delivering the message. It is officially a hot service! Hats off to the folks at BT. […]
Google has the right to log texts sent? Well. Duh.
I’ve read a few articles recently about the Google "Send-to-SMS" function that they recently released on their new Toolbar. These articles are far too alarmist I think. They exclaim to the world that Google may log the text of the message that you send. No biggie, surely? It’s a free service. In fact if they’re […]
