Grabacondom.com goes live, offers to deliver you condoms by post
Grabacondom.com, previously known as Condomtext.com, has just gone live — so if you’re a bit low and haven’t made it past that slightly good looking girl behind the counter at Boots the Chemist, then Grabacondom.com is for you.
It’ll cost you 3 x £1 premium messages and you’ll be send 3 Durex branded condoms in the post. Smart.
If you haven’t tried this before, and in the spirit of supporting innovation, knock’em over a few texts and get some condoms sent to you. Or your friend!
All you have to do is text CONDOM to 63100 and the system will prompt you for your delivery address.
hmm, expect that shortcode to change shortly…
Posted by John on October 11th, 2006 at 10:15 am.oh dear! This service is one that falls under E-Money legislation and they appear to have gone for a non e-money shortcode.
When oh when will companies learn…

Posted by steve procter on October 11th, 2006 at 10:44 am.The service has been suspended from what I understand, pending a move to a proper emoney shortcode.
In all fairness, the guidelines are a bit out of date - http://www.short-codes.com/assets/Off_handset_purchases.pdf still refers to it changing at the end of 2005.
