Text Messaging in the UK

["Martin Atkins" <mart.atkins@bigfoot.com>]

Hi Brad,

Now that I have a mobile phone, I've been looking into how to enable text
messaging to it from things that aren't other mobile phones. During my
search I found the following site which, when used with the URL in this
format, can send messages to many different UK mobile telcos. It can do
other countries, too, if you change the 44 to one of the other ID codes on
http://www.smsboy.com/sms/sendsms.asp

They add short mobile phone related mini-ads to the end of messages, and the
limit is 121 characters.

I'm sure many UK people would be happy to be supported by the text messaging
feature! I'm looking into a service run actually by my telco, but this one
that can do loads seemed worth a mention :)

Take Care,
-Martin
