On an unrelated point, I’ve always wondered, how does the SMS stuff
on Radio 1/2 work? You know, when people text in and get their
message read out on air? Surely no phone would be able to cope with
hundreds if not thousands of messages each minute?!
It's handled by bulk SMS message centre providers such as WIN (http://
www.winplc.com). They also have applications to do outgoing texts,
voting and so forth.
I used to work at BBC Radio, and did a writeup on a text message
project we did there: http://www.hackdiary.com/archives/000051.html
Cheers,
