I didn't know SMS are often free; here they cost a bundle, though a bit less if you take a bulk deal in your monthly fees. OTOH, here we have quite affordable no-limit GPRS(/EDGE/UMTS). Clearly it would be good for a locator service to be able to communicate via both methods, depending on what kind of a mobile plan the user has. As for availability, for a GPRS-preferred user of such a service you could pretty much assume that they are connected whenever the phone is on and has coverage, so not that different from SMS... -- Mikko J Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
