Remind4u goes mobile
Link: An awful lot of fuss 4 a B’day card
It’s an awful lot of fuss to go to just to send a birthday card but online service, Remind4u, has just gone mobile. So for £3 any Brit can receive a personalised birthday greeting on their mobile phone.
Sounds good, but the article points out there’s a couple of snags. You create the card from the web - not your mobile - even though it’s delivered to the recipients mobile. You don’t seem to be able to send the card by email instead, and there’s also apparently a bug with the authorisation required that charges you the £3 to your handset via premium SMS.
That aside, it could serve the busy Brit (or typical bloke with a memory like a sieve) quite well.

I’ve called it “SendaTextToaFriendFromYourVeryOwnMobile” and it works like this… I pick up my mobile and I send a text to my friend saying something like “happy birthday you old sod”. It’s really a very flexible system because each user can type different things, we don’t restrict what you can type.
To use my new system just pick up your mobile and send a text to a friend right now. Once you’ve sent it then please write out a cheque for each one payable to “Steve Procter Innovations Inc.” for £1.50 and send it to me at the usual Bahamas postal address.
Note that the network will also charge you a few pence to send the text…a bit cheeky I know, them cashing in on my idea but hey, as long as I get my £1.50 in order to pay back the £4M I loaned to set the idea up then I’m happy…
